Introducing Creative Commons

It’s clear that some people don’t quite get Creative Commons yet. See Lawrence Lessig’s recent post about an article in Billboard magazine for proof that there’s more education to be done. (Assuming that the misunderstanding is an honest one and not motivated by blind allegiance to the RIAA.)

Creative Commons AU has produced a short animated video [link, 13.3 MB] that captures the essentials of Creative Commons licensing. Maybe you or someone you know could benefit from getting a better sense of how Creative Commons works and how it can be used to promote sharing and collaboration.
