00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,080
technically sharing a cool image or video that you

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:19,279
found online constitutes copyright infringement yes even that super funny

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,320
spongebob meme but oftentimes there's no way to know if the

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:28,560
rights holder is the guy who runs the sriracha sauce company who is super

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,640
chill about other people using the name or if it's some super litigious artist

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,200
who's going to send a tactical team of lawyers to your house at three in the

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,280
morning and because it takes about two seconds to repost something on social

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:46,399
media or a blog there have been a number of efforts to

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,640
make it clearer what you can and can't

12
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:53,280
do with the content you find online with one of the most notable being the

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:58,399
creative commons license you've probably seen these on websites like wikipedia

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:04,000
and flickr whenever you click on an image but what exactly do they mean

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,720
a creative commons license aims to find a happy middle ground between media that

16
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:15,040
the creator declares is in the public domain meaning that they've made it free

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,960
for anyone to use for any purpose and

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,000
works that are protected by the full force of copyright which by the way you

19
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:24,720
should probably assume for anything that you find on the internet that isn't

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,200
otherwise labeled here's how it works the creative commons

21
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:34,799
organization provides a number of pre-written licenses that a creator can

22
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:39,600
choose from instead of having to draft one themselves or hire a lawyer to do it

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,079
for them an expensive process these licenses allow any member of the

24
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,799
general public to do certain things with their image song or computer program

25
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,399
without having to explicitly ask permission

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:57,840
as long as certain rules are followed all creative commons licenses require at

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,000
the very least that the user attribute their work to the rights holder so

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,759
you'll see example of this right here on techwiki as you may have noticed when we

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,080
put attributions down in the corner whenever we use a cc image

30
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:15,280
simple attribution licenses such as these are popular among business users

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,959
such as a cafe owner who wants to play music in their coffee shop without

32
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,840
having to pay royalties however other cc licenses place

33
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:30,319
additional restrictions on how the work can be shared a share a like license for

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,840
example requires that any transformed creation like a remixed song

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,040
also be distributed under the same cc license

36
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,440
creators also have the option of banning any commercial use or modification which

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,519
could be useful if you're say a photographer who doesn't mind

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,360
people posting high-res versions of your picks on their personal

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,879
cool desktop wallpapers blog because it's 2002 but doesn't want some shady

40
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:02,720
character selling canvas prints on the sidewalk for 300 bucks a pop profiting

41
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,720
off of your work but Linus come on what's the point of all this can't i

42
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,360
just assert fair use if i'm using something without making money off of it

43
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,280
actually no not only can you still get in trouble for reusing a copyrighted

44
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,800
work without permission even if you're not turning a profit

45
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:24,720
which you can learn more about up here but fair use is a squishy squashy

46
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:29,680
subjectivey legal standard that has led to some lengthy court battles in the

47
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,319
past creative commons licenses spell out

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,840
exactly what is and is not allowed by the creator and the organization also

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,840
provides easily readable summaries and icons that creators can use to label

50
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:47,360
their work if you don't want to read through all of that messy legalese

51
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,440
but bear in mind that the cc system isn't perfect for example you could

52
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,519
still get in trouble for distributing an image of something copyrighted by

53
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:02,000
someone else if they didn't correctly license it to begin

54
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,480
with or if the work is otherwise legally problematic in the first place like for

55
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:11,120
example if it violates someone else's personality or privacy rights and

56
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:17,359
although creative commons provides licenses as a convenience to creators it

57
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:22,400
isn't a law firm so you can't go crying to them if you misuse a cc-licensed

58
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,320
piece of content and you get sued just like mcdonald's won't provide you with

59
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,320
on-site heart surgery if that quarter-pounder finally seals up the

60
