Creative commons is something I will honestly admit I have never heard of, however, the first thought that came to mind when I read the words was global commons – the areas of our Earth which are shared by all and do not have ownership by any one person or nation.
Creative commons is very similar to global commons in that it provides creators of all types to freely share their work and make it available on a global scale.
This is beneficial to the creator, as the work they have produced is now available for the world to see and provides self promotion, and also for the global community in that they can now access and use creative work they may not previously had access to without breaking copyright laws.
The above clip provides excellent information about creative commons and how creators and people who wish to use published creative works can use the Creative Commons.
