What is Creative Commons?
The protection of original content online is quite difficult and contemporary copyright laws are not effective at addressing the complexities of online information distribution.
Creative Commons (CC) was founded in 2001 with the ideas that knowledge is increased when information is shared freely within a community and that how an individual’s work is used should be up to the individual who created it.
According to its mission, CC is “dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright.”
