Creative Commons Licences Release New Wave of Content Sharing

Traditionally, content—stories, pictures, music, video, et cetera—has been protected by using an all-rights-reserved copyright. This indicates that the copyright holder reserves all rights that are granted to them through copyright law. Meaning, if you want to use material that is protected by copyright for any reason, you have to get permission from the copyright holder.

With the rapid adoption of the Internet and with the ease of uploading and distributing content on-line, a new form of copyright licence has recently emerged. This new form is known as Creative Commons.
