Copyright Information
Do you know what copyright law is? Well, copyright law gives a person the rights to their own work that they have created. Whether it is a picture, a webpage, a poem, it is anything that is created by someone and it gives the original author the rights to it.
The author of the work can then give rights to other people to use it in different ways. This is Creative Commons. A Creative Commons license lets you create a license that gives other people the ability to use your work or to not let them use it. If you let someone use your work, you can also limit how they use it, for instance, you can let them use it, but not change anything or vice versa. You can also say they can use it, but they cannot make money from it because it is your original work and not theirs.
The only part of the copyright law that gives you different rights as a user is under fair use. Fair use is an exception that lets certain people use other people’s work without their permission. An example of fair use is a teacher. A teacher can use a lot of materials online even if they are copyrighted because they are using it in their curriculum to teach students.
