Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons are all terms which refer to the rights people have regarding their personal creative work. Copyright is the exclusive legal right the originator of some creative work has in the production of duplicates, and to determine whether or not to allow others to use it as well. Fair Use is essentially the fact that people have the right to quote short excerpts of a person's original words in certain specific circumstances, such as in a news report or article. Creative Commons is an organization which encourages legally sharing creative works in the spirit of collaboration and promotion.
These concepts are important for us as we go about the development of our video projects because they shape the way we can go about gathering information and media for the video. We must be careful that we do not infringe on others' rights with regards to their creative work. We must ensure that we are legally obtaining music, logos, and ideas for the project. Steps that we took included careful discretion with images and care taken in the search for websites to gather music from.
