What are Creative Commons Licenses?

Creative Common Licenses

Why are they important?

• They are important because they give you credit while allowing other people to use your work.

• They make sharing easier.
• They help fans use, or access work.
• They are convenient.

• They are adaptable.

Copyright

Creative Commons

Photos, art, movies, songs, and books all belong to the people who made them. When a new work is created, the copyright belongs to the creator. The creator has a right to decide how their work will (or won’t) be copied, remixed (changed), and shared. No one can use someone’s work without permission.

Creative Commons empowers creators to give implicit permission to everyone to use, share, and remix their work without needing to ask in each instance. Creative Commons licenses can be multi-layered, allowing more or less freedom.
