Came across this awesome business that’s been building up traction in Japan
called C-shirt — powered by
media-wiki company Nota that leverages
Creative Commons licensing in a pretty unconventional way. At first glance, it
might seem like one of the innumerable t-shirt vendor sites out there — but it
is, in fact, way, way cooler.First, the conventional idea: users submit t-shirt designs which can be
viewed online and ordered for printing. However, the twist is that since all the
designs are placed under CC, Nota provides an interface with which to edit and
reproduce these designs accordingly. Once you’ve remixed it to your liking,
C-shirt will print and ship your unique version right to your door. Depending on
the license, you can even repost your new design to the site.Even better, the service is outfitted to work with some enabled mobile
devices, so if you see a shirt you like on the street, you can scan the Quick
Response (QR) code included on each design with your phone, which will capture a
unique address where you can load and edit the t-shirt before getting it
yourself.Very slick. It’s mostly been active in Japan, but I’m hoping they start to
make the crossover into the States. Thinking it’d be easy to expand this into a
whole range of products — hats, lunchboxes, computers…
