Week 4: A Picture is Worth

Today I watched a Creative Commons video and learned that computers are very useful. When you draw a picture on a computer, you can make a perfect copy. I also learned that without your permission, people are not allowed to share or change your work. Fair use counts as long as you don’t say you made the work if you didn’t make it. The law gives you full copyright on anything you make, and includes protection for pictures, drawings, videos, and stories. I also learned that if you allow people to share, change, or build upon your work they need to follow your Creative Commons license.

I also learned that a content is a document that states the freedoms and limitations that you apply to your work. If you want anyone to sell your work, you can put a noncommercial stamp on it so no one can sell it without your permission. If you let them sell your work, you can negotiate to share the profit that they make off your work.
