Copyright and Attribution

Reflections

My License

I learned more about copyright throughout this module. Copyright is legal framework to protect a creator’s rights to their original work. The goal of copyright is to maintain the integrity of creative works as the creators get to decide how their work is distributed and used. As the creator of my site, I own the copyright to it. I chose my license so I can encourage others to share my work while giving me credit for what I completed. I wanted to allow collaboration and others to build off of my work, while still accrediting my ideas.

Others’ Work

Using the work of others ethically allows you to respect the creators while sharing work by understanding copyright terms. Attribution is important when using work ethically in order to honor their work. Fair use plays a crucial role because you will be able to decide the appropriate timing of when to use work without permission. Licensing is also important as you must legally understand how to use other people’s work. Being ethical allows each individual to serve and gain a sense of respect.
