What’s your license?
March 28, 2007
Okay folks, you took some pretty big steps last week. You published your poetry on our blog so that anyone in the world can read it. You also copyrighted it.
Wait, what? “I don’t remember copyrighting anything last week,” you’re thinking to yourself. After all, doesn’t that involve lawyers and fees and paperwork and all that other unpleasant-sounding grown-up stuff? Nope. Since 1978, your work is automatically copyrighted the second you create it.
But regular copyright is so boring. “Can’t I license my poem under Creative Commons?” you beg. Yes. Your wish is granted. This week in class I’d like you to combine the conditions below to make your very own license. Think about what you want people to be allowed to use your work for. Can they use it in a collage? Can they send it to their friends as long as they say who wrote it? You decide.
**Please write a comment for this post that lists what conditions your license uses and why.
Example: if it were up to me, my band would license our next album as “non-commercial, sampling plus with attribution.” 
That way, anyone could use our music in their own creations for free as long as they give us some credit and don’t try to sell it without permission. What’s your license?
Attribution: if people use your work they need to mention that they sampled things from you.
No derivatives: people can use and copy your work as long as they don’t change it.
Non-commercial: people can use your work for anything they want as long as they don’t sell it.
Share Alike: anyone can use your work as long as they license it the same way you did.
Sampling: people can make anything they want out of pieces of your work. No one may copy the entire piece or use it for advertising.
Sampling Plus: people can copy your entire work for anything except advertising.
Developing Nations: people in developing countries (countries not classified as “high income economies” by the World Bank) may use, copy and share your work for free. People in rich countries need permission or have to pay for it.
Public domain: people can do anything they want with your work.

1. creative commons is a more precise way of copyrighting work
2. creative commons was created because some people wanted to do things and not do other things.. for example: if you wanted your work to be used for anything except money, then you couldnt do that. you could either have nobody use it for anything or have it for public domain, so cc lets you do what you wanna do with your art

Attribution: if people use your work they need to mention that they sampled things from you.
Non-commercial: people can use your work for anything they want as long as they don’t sell it.
Sampling Plus: people can copy your entire work for anything except advertising.
I would want attribution because I wan my work to be shared but I want credit for it. I would want non commercial because if my work is a big hit I don’t want street merchants and such making a big profit without my permission. I would want sampling plus because without my permision I could become extremely embarrased if it was in a ad.

Princezz E | April 30, 2007 at 12:04 pm
For my poem:
I want my licences to be that way because I just don’t want people going around copying my work and using it for them.If they do do that I would want them to still use my work, but noot using their ideas to change my poems. I would also want them to use my work, but not use it forever, but like a sample.
33.
nic' nic' | April 30, 2007 at 12:10 pm
I want these licsences on my poem because if I pick attribution then people won’t change my work and they can still use it in their books. People can use my work but they couldn’t sell it without my permission and I probably wouldn’t let them sell my work because I wrote it and they would probably try to take credit for my work. People can use my work but they cannot change it. I they changed it I would probably sue someone so I don’t think you would want to change my work.

lil' JJ | April 30, 2007 at 12:11 pm
I would like Atrribution because i would like them to give me credit for what i did and they saw.
35.
Sinclaireabelle | May 4, 2007 at 7:16 pm
I, personally would use “ATTRIBUTION” because I don’t really like people using my work unless they get approval from me (which they probably won’t). I like to have my own style and work known as done by me!
36.
Gabby PM | May 5, 2007 at 3:35 pm
For my poem I would use:
Non-commercial: because i dont want people 2 sell my work
Atribution: because i want people to be able to use by poem if they have a creative idea for it!

i think creative common is a more quicker way of copyrighting work.
Creative commons was created so that other people could use our work and not copy it (plagarisum)……..i also think that if someone was to copy my poem i would want them to say my name after they explained it and if they are making money off of it i would want some of that to.
