Thing 15: Creative Commons

I am continually frustrated by the current copyright laws. I agree with the spirit, but the application often either leaves works in limbo or obstacles to use that potential creators simply give up. And I don't believe that the laws can handle the explosion of new media and the fluid nature of the Internet.

I definitely think it would be a good idea let faculty know about Creative Commons (if they don't already). There are many great resources already available under CC licenses which can save faculty time when preparing presentations and class material. And the more who know about it, the more collaboration is possible.
