COLLECTIONS & REMIXES

There's more to Creative Commons than simply reusing and attributing individual works. You can also create and share collections and remixes.

WHAT IS A COLLECTION?

Children of the 80s and 90s will be familar with the concept of a mixed tape, and, therefore, the idea of a collection should make perfect sense. A collection involves pulling together CC licensed works to create a new work. But instead of becoming indeciperable as individual works, each individual work within the new work retains its visibility and its original licence.

WHAT IS A REMIX?

A remix, also referred to as an adaptation or derivation, incorporates works that are CC licensed and manipulates them in a way that they can no longer stand on their own. To continue with the music analogy, this would be like a musician taking pieces of other musicians' works and inserting them into their own, new work of music. You may be able to identify components of the original works, but they can no longer stand on their own.

OTHER EXAMPLES

Remixes, adaptations and derivations aren't limited to audio. They can be seen in the mixing of images and adaptation of text.

FINAL THOUGHTS

When working with collections and remixes, it's important to understand how to license the new work appropriately. Your best resource is the Creative Commons.
