The minute you create something, whether it be a photo, a written piece of work, a song, or a doodle on a napkin, it is automatically copyrighted to you. When something is copyrighted it means “all rights reserved,” but with creative commons licensing, only “some rights are reserved.” Creative commons allows you to share your work with people all over the world so that they can learn from you and continue to build on your creation, without the hassle of them having to ask you for permission. As this video explains, creative commons gives out free copyright licenses that let people know exactly what parts of their copyright they are happy to share. This is a new world of copyright where collaboration dominates.
