Creative Commons – Copyright Issues
Do you know what creative commons are? They help avoid copyright issues in the web2.0 world.
Need more advice on copyright issues? Advice on edublogs is always helpful, especially for newbies like me.
Creative Commons, founded in 2001, is an organization which provides free content license (i.e. creative commons license) that people can apply to their work. When you license your work with creative commons, you are giving people the permission to use it without having to ask permission, provided they use it in the manner stated in the creative common license.
The reason people use creative commons licenses is to make it easier for everyone to share and adapt creative work without the concern of copyright infringement. Creative commons licenses are used for books, websites, blogs, photographs, films, videos, songs and other audio & visual recordings.
