## What Jamie wrote

Strickler has enabled so many creators with KickStarter and I appreciated his focus on enabling artists. This reminded me a bit of Lessig creating Creative Commons to fix a problem. The structure of these Artist Corporations seems boring but can be a real enabler to creating opportunities. He didn’t reference fans being able to buy shares in the A Corp but that would make sense. The whole time I kept thinking that this should be codified into a DAO and operate on-chain to make it even easier to create and run one.
