Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that provides standardized copyright licenses to allow for greater sharing and use of creative works. Their licenses provide alternatives to traditional "all rights reserved" copyright, addressing issues like copyright being automatic even when not desired and covering all uses except for fair use. The Creative Commons licenses allow creators to specify which rights, such as commercial use, adaptations, they wish to grant to others for their work. The organization offers 7 main licenses that vary based on permissions for attribution, commercial use, modifications, and sharing derivatives.

Intro to Creative Commons (May 2015)
What is Creative Commons? A family of legal contracts "The Creative Commons Licenses" A non-profit organization With chapters around the world
Why Creative Commons? Deficiencies in copyright law/treaties: Copyright is a restriction with a certain aim Copyright is often way more than what we want e.g. Copyright is automatic even when not wanted Copyright covers all uses except fair uses Copyright can last 100 years or more
The Creative Commons Solution © [Your Name] [Year], licensed under a Creative Commons [Your Choice] license. © [Your Organization] [Year], licensed under a Creative Commons [Your Choice] license.
(C) and (CC) can co-exist! (C) [Your Name] [Year] indicates you are the creator of this work and you claim over it all of the rights granted by copyright law from this year until the copyright expires. (CC) Indicates which rights you want to give to people to use your work.
Which license? Creative Commons offers 7 basic licenses: CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC-Zero All licenses grant the people using your work the right to use and re-distribute your work.
Which license? All CC-BY licenses have an attribution requirement. CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC- Zero Require that people credit you for the work.
Which license? The CC-Zero has no attribution requirement. CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC-Zero It means you don't want the copy-right
Which license? The -NC licenses exclude commercial usage CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC- Zero They mean people can't use your work primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation
Which license? The -ND licenses exclude modifications CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC-Zero They mean people can't remix, transform, or build upon your work.
Which license? The -SA licenses force people to "share alike". CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-ND CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-SA, CC-BY-NC-ND, and CC-Zero They mean people who remix, transform, or build upon your work, must use the same license
Quick Test What does this mean? CC-BY-NC What does this mean? CC-BY-ND Which CC license do you think Wikipedia uses? Can you put your photos online under a CC-BY-NC and sell them later if someone wants to include them in a commercial book?
Three extra benefits of CC 1. Works across countries. 2. Lawyer-friendly and layman-friendly versions. 3. Makes your content searchable (e.g. Google Images > Search Tools > Usage Rights)
