Background Copyright(wrong) and CC
• Copyrights - in the most limited sense - are automatic.• Creative Commons seeks to support the building of a richer
public domain by providing an alternative to the automatic "all rights reserved" copyright, dubbed "some rights reserved."
• Creative Commons has helped generate interest in the issue of intellectual property and contributing to the re-thinking of the role of the "commons" in the "information age" (e.g. Social Media).
• Creative Commons has provided institutional, practical and legal support for individuals and groups wishing to experiment and communicate with culture more freely.
• Creative Commons works to counter the dominant and increasingly restrictive permission culture.

Media About Copyright
• Willful Infringement (DVD)– Wholly independent and filmed on a guerrilla budget, the two-man crew
canvassed the nation to create this report. Party clowns, a Rolling Stones tribute band, legal scholars, artists, DJ's, Star Wars fans, teachers and many more tell a tale about how ownership of ideas has come into conflict with free expression

WHY Creative Commons
• I choose CC for my work because I believe in the open sharing of ideas and knowledge
• I choose to use others CC work for the same reasons & I want to support CC producers as much as possible
• Learning is sharing• Where do you stand?
