First...a quick primer on copyright
• By default creators get 'all
rights reserved' over their IP
• Do not need to register
copyright officially (but that
protects you legally)
• Permission must then be
granted to others who want
to use your content for
purposes outside of 'fair use'
• Copyright eventually expires
and works fall into the Public
Domain where they are fair
game. http://www.copyrightauthority.com/copyright-symbol/

Flaws in that system ... a short list
It's an all or nothing system - inflexible
It's ripe for infractions as potential users must (should)
seek out copyright holders for any use of their work
Was not developed in a digital world in which sharing and
collaboration and remixing is the norm not the exception.
Length of time for works to get into the Public Domain is
getting longer (thanks to Disney and others)
Depends upon being able to discover who owns rights
(just ask Google about their Orphan Works problem)

I want one of those licenses!
How do I get one?
First – create something. Poem, LibGuide,
Syllabus, Web Page…..
Then, visit: http://creativecommons.org/choose/
and answer the questions about the work you
want to license.
They then provide you with the HTML to include
on your page to indicate which license you have
chosen. You can also download the license
deeds and full license from their site.

Considerations
• Be sure to think through (and talk through)
the implications of the license you choose.
• If you cannot perceive of a commercial use
that doesn't mean there isn't one.
• A too restrictive CC license can prevent the
use of your work with other licenses.
• Sometimes you need to walk the walk.
