FairlyShare

"Type "Eiffel Tower" in Google. The first contents which you find come from Wikipedia, and it is flooded in the middle of sponsored links. Google thus monetizes commons in its profit. It's legal, but not sustainable. If Wikipedia was under license FairlyShare, Google should share fairly this profit with every contributor of the article on the Eiffel Tower."

"This principle was established 50 years ago by the Treaty of Rome of 1961. Since then, radios have to pay the composer-songwriters, whose music they broadcast, through bodies of collection. #FairlyShare is a modernized shape of this principle, which spreads the status of the authors to the contributors, that of radios to the developers of outbuildings, and which replaces the fixed key of distribution by algorithms of analysis of the tracks of the contributions."
