Creative Commons


I liked the video "A shared culture." It gave me a comprehensive idea of Creative Commons from why CC were created to what is the difference between copyright and CC and why CC are important in the age of digital creation and communication.

Creative Commons are much more flexible than copyright. CC not only enhance access to the creation but also ensure the creator's control over how the creation should be used. CC facilitate content sharing and collaborative creative process.
