Public domain, copy right, and the creative commons.

 today I learned about the 2 different ways to save and keep what original artworks I made and how to either keep them private or make it kind of public.

First I learned was Public domain and that form of copy right work by all mean very easy to understand its the fair use certain materials for instance Arthurian legend no one has a private domain or own the rights to King Arthur and his court, Therefore people can make original stories/ movies using the characters from the stories.

The second is creative commons license which helps people understand were my artwork stand weather its supposed to be private or public but with some rules attacked to it. The Youtuber BrickPress gives some examples of these license such as a public use but would want the person to give credit to the original author which is fair because if I made a thing your planning to use it publicly then I would appreciate some recognition. BrickPress also describes how to acquire some of the license and would go into better detail about them such as a license about being able to use the artwork but cant use it for monitory use.

The last thing I learned today is how important copy right and fair use is especially in the modern day because as Stan Muller, from CrashCourse Youtube channel, puts it as we would be sued everyday for one small thing to another from our use of social media as we repost, share, or retweet other people, to taking picture of our friends and having a random picture in the background. I believe he says that we could get fined over millions of dollars in copy right cases alone.
