Copyright can be hard to get. Copyright licensing even more so.

Remix My Lit doesn’t want to make it any more difficult that it needs to be which is why we encourage the use of Creative Commons licences. At the core of the Creative Commons project is a suite of standardised licences that are made freely available to authors and artists. The licences are designed to provide a range of protections and freedoms for their material. Creative Commons builds upon the “all rights reserved” or traditional copyright to create a voluntary “some rights reserved” system.

So to get your head around the concept, we’ve included two short videos from Creative Commons Australia. The first is a general overview of Creative Commons focused on the rights granted to users under the Creative Commons licensing system.

The second video is about the creator. It looks at how Creative Commons can help you manage the rights in your creative works.


 

Still not sure what it is all about? We’ve got a page on the theory over here and a more detailed overview of Creative Commons here.
