9. “Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation
dedicated to making it easier for people to share
and build upon the work of others, consistent
with the rules of copyright.”

10. “We provide free licenses and other legal tools
to mark creative work with the freedom the
creator wants it to carry, so others can
share, remix, use commercially, or any
combination thereof.”

13. • By using a Creative Commons license, you do not
give up your copyright; you still own your work.
• Creative Commons licenses do not replace
copyright registration - they apply in addition to
copyright.
• Even if you're using a Creative Commons license,
it is advisable to register your copyright so you
can protect your work from unauthorized uses
through the courts.

14. New technologies, especially SOCIAL MEDIA has
revolutionised HOW creative works are
made, disseminated and consumed
