CC




CC stands for Creative Commons. This nonprofit organization assists mashed-up and remixed creations. Creative Commons promotes a
compliant license of which allows artists, writers, as well as educators to lend and borrow each others' works. The possibilities are endless when allowing the opportunity to enhance other people's works. Essentially, these copyright licenses that enable a free and legal way to share works, make room for an abundance of masterpieces to arise. With 6 Creative Commons copyright licenses to choose from (Attribution, Attribution Share Alike, Attribution No Derivatives, Attribution Non-Commercial, Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike, Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives) the artist can choose in which exact ways his works can be dispersed and to whom.







Creative Commons? Why not! What people can do together is out of this world... amazing! Be it building a pyramid, curing a disease, or creating the World Wide Web, those who work together can accomplish practically anything. Helping one another to build something even better brings our society and world to a whole different level; I do believe collaboration is the biggest tool of the future.








This year has been an exceptional one for Creative Commons hence a great number of organizations and corporations had joined in on the "Public Domain Day" celebration. Every year on January 1st, copyright licenses expire allowing an abundance of works to be adopted and revamped. Growth in awareness of such a great cause is groundbreaking.
