Quick Overview of Creative Commons

Alan Levine (MCLI)
Alan gave a quick tour of Creative Commons and sites that use them. Creative Commons is a "movement" that provides an alternative to traditionL copyright "You cannot use for another 75 years" to something that allows content creators to allow re-use of their work with minimal resitrctions. Creative Commons removes the grayness of use since if it is licensed for re-use, you do not have to bother requestion permission and there is no ambiguity of determining fair use.

• Finding Free Stuff - a workshop provided for students at ASU and for a grouop in New Zealand
  • Media Sources list a number of sites to find the stuff
• Creative Commons
• Creative Commons licenses for content creators
  • Creative Commons search- an easy to use search tool for all kinds of media and content
