Copyright

In class today I really enjoyed learning about Creative Commons--"a nonprofit corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright (quoted from their website, see http://creativecommons.org/about/). I have always thought that if I were a musician or some other type of artist I would not want to keep those who enjoyed my works from sharing/downloading my material. I think it is cool to know that I could still have my material licensed to me thanks to Creative Commons, but that it could be a lot more accessible to the public.

  1. How's the quality of the stuff Creative Commons has compared with copyright things?
