Tute Task Week Seven
1. Creative commons was started in 2003 and is a more relaxed version of copy right where the owner of the content can decide if they will allow there content to be reproduced, copied or sold etc. It promotes reasonlable copyright it is some rights reserved rather than all rights reserved. This aspect of creative commons can be relevant to my experience at university as in my time at uni i will no doubt come across an aspect in study where i need to used some content off the web as an example in my study and i need to be aware if this content is under creative commons rather that copy right so that i may reproduce it for my educational benefit.
2.An example of things that have creative commons that are embedded in my blog are things from youtube such as Salad Fingers, Evil Ronald McDonald and Twilight Spoof all these videos are from you tube and are under creative commons as not you tube in the copyright terms it states that you can access Content through the video playback pages of the Service itself, and the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate.
3. An academic article that discusses creative commons (http://librarycatalogue.griffith.edu.au/search~S1?/X+creative+commons&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ/X+creative+commons&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ&extended=0&SUBKEY=%20creative%20commons/1%2C24%2C24%2CB/frameset&FF=X+creative+commons&searchscope=1&SORT=DZ&8%2C8%2C) is entitled Digital copyright and the consumer revolution : hands off my i Pod / Matthew Rimmer. A summary of the article is that it briefly discusses the copyright term and the public domain, the privateers of the information age, copyright law, digital sampling and mash-ups Remix culture : the creative commons and its discontents.
