At worst, it erodes the current copyright system by limiting which rights a creator has control over and at worst erodes the creators incentive to create. On the opposite end of the spectrum the creative commons has been blamed for not truly being free either, as the 'attribution' and 'non-commercial' licenses would need to be supported for the duration of the copyright (In Canada that is Life + 50 years). If for any reason the original attribution where lost, it would once again become illegal to redistribute the work counteracting the original goals of the commons. As well, some of the cc licenses are not compatible with each other and cannot both be used in the same work and redistributed under the same license.

<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Overview==<br />
The Creative Commons is a project in copyright distribution created and run by a not-for-profit organization with the same name that has its headquarters in Mountain View California. The objective of the Creative Commons is to give content creators a venue to release their works in such a way that others can share, and in some cases remix or modify, their work. Creative Commons has created a number of licensing agreements that creators can choose to license their work under. Their slogan "some rights reserved" refers the licensee’s ability to choose which rights they want to maintain for themselves. <br />
<br />
==Licenses==<br />
Each community commons (cc) licences are designed to allow for free distribution with restrictions only on how the work is to be used. Each of the six cc licenses contain various combinations of the following restrictions.<br />
<br />
===Attribution===<br />
The Attribution clause is the minimal level of rights maintained by all six cc licenses. It simply requires any user of the cc licenced work to properly attribute the work whenever it is reused, remixed, or redistributed.<br />
<br />
===No Derivatives===<br />
The No Derivatives clause states that the work can only be redistributed as a complete whole and cannot be changed or modified.<br />
<br />
===Share-Alike===<br />
The Share-Alike clause is the cc analogue of the software licenses of the Free Software Movement. Works licenced under a Share-Alike cc licence are available for remixing, and redistribution as long as the new product is released under the exact same license as the original. This clause is incompatible with the No Derivatives clause.<br />
<br />
===Noncommercial===<br />
The Noncommercial clause is used when the author is reserving the right to monetize the product. The work can only be redistributed (or remixed if the license allows) if the work is not being used for profit, or for advertisement. Some ambiguity does exist as to what is considered commercial use, and therefore the noncommercial licenses can be the most restrictive of all cc licenses.<br />
<br />
===CC0===<br />
In addition to the six CC licenses the group does encourage the use of a tool that they do not consider to be a license. The CC0 tool is designed to allow an author to waive their copyright rights to the furthest extent allowable by law. The CC0 then, hopes to give authors an opportunity to place their works into the public domain.<br />
<br />
==Criticism and Analysis==<br />
Creative Commons attempts to bridge the gab between two polar views on copyright protection. Both copyright defenders as well as the free information movement have voiced complaints with how the creative commons operates. From a copyright standpoint the creative commons at best only repackages what the copyright system already does, that is give the creator control of how the work is distributed. At worst, it erodes the current copyright system by limiting which rights a creator has control over and at worst erodes the creators incentive to create. On the opposite end of the spectrum the creative commons has been blamed for not truly being free either, as the 'attribution' and 'non-commercial' licenses would need to be supported for the duration of the copyright (In Canada that is Life + 50 years). If for any reason the original attribution where lost, it would once again become illegal to redistribute the work counteracting the original goals of the commons. As well, some of the cc licenses are not compatible with each other and cannot both be used in the same work and redistributed under the same license. Therefore, sectioning off portions of the commons from being used with each other. <br /><br />
Regardless of these criticisms; however, the creative commons is a tool for authors who want to open up their work to the public while maintaining their copyright on the work. Creative commons maintains six different licences backing their own philosophy that copyright is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Each work and genre is subject to it's own discussion as to how the work should be shared. Creative Commons aims to be a platform to allow this discussion to happen.<br />
