Yes, I had noticed CC at the end of web pages and had wondered about it. I have reviewed videos on the Fair Use of copyrighted laws in 1976. I knew it had evolved in the late 80s to automatically protect author's work. We have been taught that you never take another persons work and pass it off as your own. You can use it in papers but you must give credit for the usage.

When using Creative Commons(CC) one is able to use the original work, remix or expand it for new purposes, free of charge, because the artist has given permission from the start. Because of Creative Commons material can be used in the classroom by teachers in their process of extending lessons and exposing students to additional sources of material on the web for academic use.

There is a slide show that can be referenced by teachers to help inform students how to use Copyrighted (C) & Creative Commons (CC) digital & or published material. This slide show with embedded video are 'catchy' & memorable while clearly explaining what Fair Use is. This can be used in beginning of year Standard Operation Procedures (SOP)when discussing Copyright with teachers. Also, computer orientation/ethics for students.
