Journal Prompt:

What rules would you make for people who want to use your creative work?

Multiple Choice

What does copyright protect?

• The right to borrow books from a library.

• The legal right to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same.

• The ability to share any content online without permission.

• The right to use any music in your videos without asking.

​Copyright is granted the moment something is created, so unless explicitly told otherwise, we have to assume any picture, video, or other media we find online is fully covered by copyright law, which means that no one else can make copies or post it online without permission.

Sometimes, though, we want people to share our work so that more people can see it. The Creative Commons (CC) license was developed to help content creators have more specific control over how other people can use their work.
