Creative Commons – What’s it all about?
Posted by: ~dk~ in copyright vs. creative commons, digital+issues, tags: copyright, creative+commons, digital+citizenshipSo, just what is Creative Commons all about?
Creative Commons (CC) provides free tools that allow artists, authors, educators and scientists to easily mark their creative work with the licensing freedoms they want it to carry. Creative Commons licensing can be used by the owner to change the standard copyright terms from “All Rights Reserved” to “Some Rights Reserved.”
Copyright tells you what you CAN’T do, Creative Commons tells you what you CAN do.
The following concise video presents an easy to understand explanation of Creative Commons using work licensed under CC licenses. It aims to elevate public awareness of the colossal amount of content that is freely shared by people all over the world under CC licensing.
While watching this video, my personal “Aha!” moment occurred when presented with the key idea that Creative Commons is about moving away from CONTENT and focusing more on COMMUNITY.
