“copyright law is
totally out of date.”
Esther Wojcicki from CC Says:
• E-mailing a book chapter to a friend or colleage?
• Posting a picture/video/article onto your learning space?
• Using a cartoon or a drawing in a handout?• Uploading resources you found to your web
site?• Copying a lesson plan and posting it to an
educational resource repository?
Illegal!!Unless you get permission
“Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright.”
“We provide free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the
creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination
thereof.”
• By using a Creative Commons license, you do not give up your copyright; you still own your work.
• Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright registration - they apply in addition to copyright.
• Even if you're using a Creative Commons license, it is advisable to register your copyright so you can protect your work from unauthorized uses through the courts.
New technologies, especially SOCIAL MEDIA has revolutionised HOW creative works are made,
disseminated and consumed

These ideas from Chris Betcher:
Remember
• CC is not a get-out-of-jail-free card• You still need to practise ethics!• Follow the rules of the license• Attribute as the license says
Benefits of CC

resources• Improve quality (peer review)• Reduce the cost of development• Make good use of publicly funded material• Imbue old work with new value• Provide legal clarity and reduce admin
