Creative Commons Review

Creative Commons, in short, is a way for users to get access to copyrighted information without being illegal. CC wants to create universal access by creating a balance between the reality of the internet and  the reality of copyright laws. They provide a set of copyright licenses and tools that create the balance inside "all rights reserved". A way to keep copyright while also allowing users and their works to be "some rights reserved" which makes their creative, educational, scientific works instantly more available to the rest of the internet. With licenses that are given on CC can range from content to be copied, remixed, distributed, edited to the non commercialized uses of content.
