Copyright
Copyright is what protects your work from being used by others. As soon as you create something it is copyrighted. There is the copyright were no one can use your work without permission, and it has to be attributed. There are other forms of copyright were there are fewer restrictions. Creative commons helps people to understand how they are allowed to use your work. I chose the creative commons license because I want people to be able to interact with my work. If my work inspires them and they use it in a new way that is amazing. I don’t want my work to be commercialized because I want my works to be able to be shared and used for free.
Using Others Work
When you want to use someone else’s property, you have to ask. If the work or property is under full copyright, you have to receive permission and give credit to the person who created it. Whenever you use someone else’s work or property you should credit the original creator. Sometimes depending on the creative commons license you legally don’t have to credit the author, but it is always polite to give credit.
