What is Creative Commons?Creative Commons defines the spectrum of
possibilities between full copyright (all rights reserved) and the public domain (no rights reserved)
CC licences allow creators to retain copyright, while inviting certain uses of the work, a "some rights reserved" copyright
Creative Commons MovementAs mentioned previously the CC movement evolved
from open source software ideas and licencesUS lawyer Lawrence Lessig established the public
domain Web site site after participating in an unsuccessful lawsuit
Lessig decided he wanted to “attempt to redesign copyright from within”
CC was officially founded in 2001 after Lessig received a grant from the Centre for Public Domain (CPD)
Lessig was assisted by IPR and IT experts (including James Boyle, Michael Carroll, Eric Saltzman, Hal Abelson and Eric Eldred) and fellows and students from Harvard Law School
Many respected experts now sit on the board of directors
Why CC?The idea of universal access to research, education, and
culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.
Who Uses CC?
Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation.
The best known users of Creative Commons licenses. You can also search hundreds of millions of CC licensed works and choose a license for your own.

Culture
The goal at Creative Commons is to increase cultural creativity in “the commons” — the body of work freely available to the public for legal use, We realize there’s an inherent conflict between innovative digital culture and archaic copyright laws. Our licenses help bridge that conflict so that the Internet can reach its full potential.
CC LicencesThe idea of the movement was to create licences
that were:easy-to-useUsed current copyright law to achieve their effectWould allow creators to share their work with the
public whilst maintaining certain control over it There are now 16 million works using CC licences
(wikipedia)
CC Baseline Rights #1Every licence will help you
retain your copyrightannounce that other people's fair use, first sale, and
free expression rights are not affected by the licenceEvery licence requires licencees
to get your permission to do any of the things you choose to restrict e.g., make a commercial use, create a derivative work
to keep any copyright notice intact on all copies to link to your licence from copies of the worknot to alter the terms of the licence not to use technology to restrict other licencees' lawful
uses of the work (note this includes technical protection measures)
CC Baseline Rights #2Every licence allows licencees, provided they live
up to your conditionsto copy the work to distribute it to display or perform it publicly to make digital public performances of it (e.g.,
webcasting) to shift the work into another format as a
verbatim copy Every licence
applies worldwide lasts for the duration of the work's copyright is not revocable
CC Licence ElementsAttribution: The work is made available to the
public with the baseline rights, but only if the author receives proper credit
Non-commercial: The work can be copied, displayed and distributed by the public, but only if these actions are for non-commercial purposes
No derivative works: This licence grants baseline rights, but it does not allow derivative works to be created from the original
Share-Alike: Derivative works can be created and distributed based on the original, but only if the same type of licence is used, which generates a “viral” licence

International CCCC licences originally written using an American
legal modelThe licences were popular and adopted by users all

be validity problems in some jurisdictions iCommons - offshoot of the licensing project
