YouTube video "Creative Commons- Get Creative"
This is not the first time that I have watched this video clip. However, today as I was re-watching it, I noticed that the more I learn about creating educational resources and using information that I find on the internet, the more the content in the video has become understandable and important to me.
The idea that collaborating with others and sharing information is beneficial to all is a relatively new concept. This video outlines the history of Copyright and explains the hindrances that have come with copyrighting with "all rights reserved." It further explains the advent of Creative Commons and the problems that can be addressed in sharing works under "some rights reserved" in order to "skip the intermediaries" so that everyone can benefit.
I personally agree with the concept of Creative Commons. I think that it is a great way to work together with other people and can save time and energy from the teacher's standpoint. I don't see any reason to "re-invent the wheel" so to speak when someone else has already done so.
I have yet to license any of my own works under a Creative Commons license, but I intend to do so some day. I look forward to leaning more about this topic in our course.

I have seen this video before as well. It is a good summary of Creative Commons and I liked that they used the situation of the White Stripes. Although, I think this happened to be a very lucky situation regarding a band and the use of their work.
