Today I found out about the world of Creative Commons and flikr.com. Having copywrited material makes sense. People who create pictures, and music should be able to own them, and not have to worry about them being claimed by someone else, or have someone else make money off them. On the other hand the internet is a wonderful tool for sharing information.
The Creative Commons sight is easy to use, easy to understand and legally sound. Each user is given options to click on. The options are then written in laymans and legal terms. The options are then shown by icons attached to the material.
Flikr.com is a fantastic source for photos. I had fun doing my class assignment looking for photos. I also found more than 7,000 dragon boating photos. Some of them are cupcakes and I'm not sure why they are in the collection, but others are truly beautiful and creative.
