Haikus, drawings, and pasta

A source of creativity and imagination

My thoughts on a video we watched for school

I thought that the video about fair use was confusing. I had no idea what they were saying. It wasn’t edited well.

Week 4: A Picture is Worth

Copyright
Computers can be used for almost anything. When you draw stuff on paper there is one copy unless you use a copy machine. But on the computer many copies can be made. In fact, on the computer, more copies can be made than with a copy machine. If you don’t want that, you can place a copyright, so that they cannot use it without your permission. Copyright has to do with the law. With a copyright, people cannot share it and copy it without your consent. Depending on where you live, there are exceptions. The law automatically places a copyright on whatever you create. Copyrights are placed on photos, movies, videos, drawings, stories, recipes, etc. If you are okay with people sharing it, as long as they give credit, you can place a Creative Commons license. A content license basically tells people the rules of sharing your work. They are designed to work internationally. There are six different Creative Commons licenses, so you can customize the rules to your liking. All licenses require you to give credit to the source, or attribution. One license makes it so that people cannot sell your creation for money unless they contact you and you agree. Another tells people that they can make something new out of your creation. And another lets people build on our work if it has the same terms. It insures that your work is used with the terms you want for it.
