I chose this YouTube video titled Creative Commons—Building on the Past to share because it provides a basis on the topic of Creative Commons licensing in a creative way. Like the video points out, Copyright laws can often be restricting and limit someone’s access to other people’s work. Creative Commons allows a person to make his or her own rules and build a custom license with as many or as few restrictions as he or she wants. The video provides examples of the use of Creative Commons such as not allowing your song to be used for commercial use or allowing someone to use your movie as long as you are given credit. It is easy to use Creative Commons by visiting the site creativecommons.org and it is free. Creative Commons is a great way to bypass Copyright laws and allows the individual to make his or her own decisions and rules. This video was entertaining visually and it helped to emphasize the benefits of Creative Commons and provide information to people who are not aware of what this licensing is.
