Here's a plan to revolutionize manufacturing worldwide.

Read it, in context, and tell me why you think it wouldn't work. Better yet, try it and SHOW ME that it won't work!

Or... help put it to the test and potentially make it a reality. Creators can license their work however they like and creative commons looks pretty good for this. Even with a handful of designers, making just enough to get by, they curate their own designs along with that of fellow designers who are willing to publish work they have already done.

I'd be willing to bet that with 20 BTC, we could give this an honest try. That'd be a year of ~8 people (@ 2BTC/year), several of which would need to be people who are good at getting the word out plus another 4 BTC for direct costs such as paying for ads, lawyers, perhaps buying existing models from creators and whatever else might come up. Even 10 BTC would get 6 months worth of data, though it's harder to ask someone to quit their job for a 6 month gig.
