What Is Creative Commons?

Recommended Posts

Creative Commons is a flexible copywright for website owners and is ABSOLUTLY FREE.

You can license anything automatically once you post your article or whatever.

 

All you do is put this code on the bottom of your page:

<!--Creative Commons License--><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/"><img'>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" border="0" src="http://creativecommons.org/images/public/somerights20.png"/></a><br/>  This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/">Creative'>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License</a>.  <!--/Creative Commons License--><!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns;  <Work rdf:about="">  	<license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/" />  </Work>  <License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/"><permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction"/><permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution"/><requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice"/><requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"/><prohibits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/CommercialUse"/></License></rdf:RDF> -->

It is NOT a real copywright, because you can distribute, view, copy, etc. content, but under certain guidelines unless given permission by the creator. I put this on my site and it is GREAT.

 

the site is https://creativecommons.org/

 

Enjoy!

It should be pointed out that the code you've posted will vary depending on what type of licence you've chosen. Better to go their site and fill out the form and get the code specific to your type of content.

Well most sites just put the copyright symbol up on their site. In fact if I own my website domain and I put up content written by me then I own the copyright to that material. Also when you are on a site that you can share work with other people you also own the copyright to that material. I don't think the creative commons thing really does much good.

I read a bit about copyright in a graphics design book. Basically if you made it, it's yours and therefore the copyright belongs to you. This excludes doing work as an employee of a company, in which case the copyright goes to the company itself. The copyright text, according to the book, is more of a reminder than anything else. So as I understand it, it's automatically yours even if you don't put the text.

 

Also note that ? doesn't count. Either use the real symbol (?)or the word "Copyright"

 

Sorry for double posting. I can't find the edit button on this thing.

What I meant was that the

(c)
doesn't count, but ? does. (hope this turns out right)

Notice from jlhaslip:
There isn't one. Long story short, it got abused and was removed.

In future, 'report' the posts which need to be corrected and a mod will do that for you. Just like this merge/edit...

I personally think that the Creative Commons was a really good idea. It gives you freedoms you do not get with a copyright but it sets down some ground rules so that you can not just take some one's content and do whatever you want with it.
