1. What is creative commons and how could this licensing framework be relevant to your own experience at university?
Creative commons, which is something I have been able to talk about in a previous blog, just to outline what it is.
Copyright is when someone owns their work, so "All Rights Reserved", while creative commons is "Some Rights Reserved".
It is the way cooler restriction actually because it gives you the ability to
share, expand, revise and remix.

It would be really good for university students, like myself, to "enhance our experience".
Knowing about the CC licencing framework, gives us the ability to know where to draw the line. We can use CC licenced pictures, videos, etc. to help us with our assignments but we know not to tamper with the copyrighted projects are artworks.
I have had to do a few YouTube videos as assignments for various subjects in this course so far, and one problem we did have was with copyrighted music. I didn't know you couldn't use it, because everyone else uses it. Haha....good excuse. But with this sort of new knowledge you can figure out as to what you can use, upload, share and remix.
I now also know that without a C symbol on it I am not allowed to distribute and tamper with someone else artwork on these YouTube videos.
Knowing about the licencing frameworks is going to be handy, not only in the process of making YouTube videos, but through many assignments as well.
2. Find 3 examples of works created by the creative commons and embed them in your blog.
Ooo. So this is harder than I thought.
Well I am going to have to go with the amazing band, "Radiohead". They are a prime example of using the CC licence. I remember when their song 'House of Cards' came out, and it was announced that they did it all under a CC licence. Not that I actually knew what that meant...but that is completely beside the point.
<>'
This is a website that just clarifies what they actually did under the CC licence. http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8476
Example 2:
Alright. Well Flickr. I personally love this site. For my friends I will write a poem and add matching pictures from this website to the powerpoint. So this website is just great for people to be able to show their artwork.
Okay, so the aim of that picture was to show that on the attribution creative commons part.
There are 21851115 photos under that creative commons license alone of this website.
People write on it and then others have the ability to expand, edit, etc. on this site. So it is a good place for people to congregate and exapnd off each others ideas.
3. Find an article about Creative Commons
Summary of the Article:This article goes into the negative implications and pitfalls that Creative Commons have. The impacts are mostly on our cultural environment really. It will change the distribution and production of the future creative projects that will come.
It also, as the title states, analyses the creative common licensing framework.
It is a program that is perfect for storing all your favourite bookmarks, emails, programs, etc without leaving all your personal information and passwords all over the computer.
It is a really useful program because it is everything people have, all in one place to make it all really convient and easy to locate. It is also really good because it is free. So a free software and a perfect alternative to programs that charge.
