The Copyright Setting
Copyright
• happens automatically when a work is created in a
tangible form
• does not require registration or notice
• lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years at least,
and more in some cases
Copyright is a bundle of rights:
• you can sign them away exclusively
• you can grant non-exclusive licenses that give multiple
people permission to use a work for different purposes
What is a Creative Common License?
Creative Commons Licenses:
• apply to works that are subject to copyright (NOT to
works already in the public domain)
• offer an option for the creator to define permitted uses
explicitly
• do NOT affect Fair Use
• are NOT exclusive
• allow copying, distribution, display, public performance,
& reformatting
• do NOT contradict copyright
Why use Creative Commons Licenses?
• Although everything is copyrighted automatically,
creators may not want or need to hold all those rights
exclusively
• Perfectly acceptable uses are often restricted due to
the automatic assignment of copyrights
• Permissions handling is often unnecessary but costly
in time, money and effort

Creative Commons License Attributes
6 Creative Commons License Combinations
Attribution is always present
Attribution (by) only provides for all kinds of uses,
including derivative works.
Attribution Non-commercial (by-nc) provides
for building upon and remixing but NOT for
commercial purposes
Attribution Share Alike (by-sa) allows building upon and
remixing the work, even for commercial purposes. The users
must license their work as Share Alike also.
Attribution No Derivatives (by-nd)
Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives

remixing but NOT for commercial purposes
Can't I just Google the images I need
and use them if they are online?
What about videos on YouTube?
?
Freely available ≠ Free-to-Use
