When I saw that we had to do research on Creative Commons (CC), my first thought was: “I’ve seen that before!” and I went off to look at several webcomics I follow which are licensed under CC. In the age of the Internet, it is insanely easy to share anything worldwide. This can be good for publicity and often does not directly harm the original owner. Many people who use a CC license are comfortable with (or encourage) sharing their work. Under CC you can share something, but you must attribute it to the original source, what is specifically necessary is left to the discretion of the license holder. A CC license allows for more freedom than copyright, while still giving the rights to the owner.
I will be licensing my work under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.
I chose this license because, I fell that it is my work, and that others should not make money off of it or alter it.
