Hafhp is looking to create a website that would enable the artist to build a license. The license would allow the artists to give up the commercial rights for the use of their content to a charity of choice. The license would be non-exclusive, user of content would pay the charity directly.
How would content be found ? The charity and the type of material the artist would provide would be coded into text. The artist would copy this text to their site. A search engine could source content. Charities could market the available content. The artist could display hungry artists and/or charity logo on site.
