Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing is when you use ideas, information etc. from the general public (usually via internet) and end up with a final product such as t-shirts,designs, etc.

One example of crowdsourcing is 99designs.com . This website allows you to set up a design contest. When you start your design contest, people from all over will send in ideas to compete for your prize. All you need to do is pick your favorite design and an award winner and you'll recieve the final design and the copyright to the original art work. 

Another example of crowdsourcing is istockphotos.com. This website allows you to find the perfect picture you want to use, buy it using iStock credits, and then you can use it almost anywhere you want.
