=**//Creative Commons - Get Rights! Give Rights!//**=

As citizens, consumers and producers in this digital era, one needs to understand and use Creative Commons licensing.

Why? Copyright is an important issue and very misunderstood. What can you use - and how? What rights do you want to give people when you publish something to the web? (If you don't give it a Creative Commons license then it, by law, is All Rights Reserved. That may not be your intention.)

Here are the resources we will use. Please Diigo these for your future use. (Note: I have added these to the Media Arts group.)
