 * __//Compare and Contrast//__**

Creative Commons- It is a license that allows someone to use the picture, but you must give ownership and permission. A person can share, use, or build it on top of that work you have created. It is flexible and you do not have to worry about copyright laws and infractions, if you specify. you cannot make a profit off of it.

Copyright- The legally concept that lets only the owner of the image do anything with it. Another person can not take it, damage it, copy it, make money from it, or build upon it. Also, you can not take it,use it, and money off of it.

Commons- They are resources that can be shared among people or communities.

1.) The terms are similar because you can spread it among people, but with certain limitations. Creative Commons, Copyright, and Commons are all licenses and are resources used by people. It is not only limited to images. They also include music, art, writing, videos, movies, DVDs, and CDs. You can not take something and make money off of it or make a profit. For example, it is illegal to use my picture I took and post it on a billboard to make money. Also, Creative Commons and Copyrights are legal concepts that include serious consequences if that law is broken.

2.) Copyright has more limitations than Creative Commons and commons. You can not even build upon it and then erase it quickly. In Creative Commons there is a website where you can narrow down your search for pictures. It gives you a variety which cannot be made with copyrighted materials. To change or copy a copyrighted object you must ask and receive permission from the original owner of the image. There are certain requirement that a picture must meet in order for it to be legal to freely used them. The license must be expired for a number of years. It is called plagiarizing if you take credit for another person's work, writing, images, etc. It is illegal to plagiarize, but will not have such a serious consequence in school.

3. & 4 ) You can find an image that has "commons" right on the website __Flickr Commons__. The picture there have no license and we can use freely. there is no copyright and you are allowed to alter the image in anyway possible. You can even make money or a profit off the image! We have used commons in Layers and Manipulations and Cropping.

5.) Creative Commons rights are found in the website __CC Search__. You can go to the website and limit your search to categories and the legal limitations. The owners are letting me use the picture for my own purpose and I have to respect their rights.

6.) The copyrighted image I used was the woman that was walking down the street during Paris Fashion Week. The assignment I used the image for was the Captions assignment. There were many limitations that we had to abide to as citizen. I had the cit =e the source the picture and which magazine I got it from. l was not able to change it at all.
