Fair USe and Copyright
(CREATIVE COMMONS)
Creative Commons is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees. Wikipedia uses one of these licenses.--Wikipedia

Published on Apr 4, 2012The Center for Social Media is proud to announce the release of the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education. This code is a step-by-step guide to fair use in an academic setting that enables teachers and students who use popular culture to know when their uses are legal. The Code of Best Practices was created in collaboration with the Washington College of Law's Program on Information, Justice and Intellectual Property and with our new partner Media Education Lab at Temple University. The Code was released in hard copy in Philadelphia at the Kirby Auditorium on November 11, 2009, and is available online here. To get a sense of what the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy is all about, watch our Media Literacy video
