Why copyright?

Reflections on copyright

After reading and learning more on copyright, I now know why some people chose to copyright their work, and others don’t. I learned all about different types of copyright and the different forms of access. It’s also important to give credit where it’s due. Or even attribution if credit isn’t specified. I think it’s important to educate yourself and know about how to identify if media is copyrighted or not. It’s also important to know where you can find free use media so you know where to find copyright free media every time you need it.

Why I chose my copyright

For my copyright, I chose to let other people post my work elsewhere, with credit. People can also use my work for commercial purposes. But, in unadapted form. Which means they can’t change or remix my work. I chose this copyright because I don’t mind people using my work as long as they give proper credit.

Ethically using others work

Why is it important?

Copyright is so important for many reasons. People work really hard to take photos, videos, and produce media for us to consume. If they don’t want their work to be used they absolutely have the right to refuse anyone to use or recycle variations of their work. If they require credit-give it!
