Copyright: Theory

What is the Creative Commons and how does it provide a different way of protecting your work?
Creative Commons in a non-profit organization that makes licensing for people so they can easily share, reuse, and remix materials with a "some rights reserved" approach to copyright. They provide a different way of protecting your work by helping you get licenses so you can share your work safely, but they dont do it for money.

Discuss the following terms as they relate to The Creative Commons Licenses: Attribution, Share Alike, Non-commercial, and No Derivative Works
Attribution: Is a type of license that lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. Share Alike: This license is basically the same as the attribution license it lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you AND license their new creations under the identical terms. Non-commercial: This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new work must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they dont have to license their derivative works on the same terms. No Derivative Works: This license lets a user may copy, distribute, display and perform only original copies of the authors work. The users must obtain the authors permission if you want to modify an authors work.

According to Canadian Law these terms mean: Copyright, Trademark, Intellectual Property, Infringement, Patent, Royalty, Public Domain, Tariff, and Fair Use
Copyright: Copyright is the exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish and sell a work. In other words, the Copyright Act provides copyright protection to what is referred to as authors/creators. Trademark: is a recognizable sign, design or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others.

Intellectual Property: Intellectual property law attempts to address the problem of supply of public goods. It does this by granting exclusive rights in certain types of information. As a consequence, IP law defines what is not exclusive. It does this by creating institutions that manage the creation, use and exchange of certain types of information. Infringement: is the use of works under copyright, infringing the copyright holder's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works, without permission from the copyright holder, which is typically a publisher or other business representing or assigned by the work's creator. Patent: is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time, in exchange for the public disclosure of the invention. An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem, and may be a product or a process.[1]:17 Patents are a form of intellectual property. Royalty: Compensation for the use of property, usually copyrighted works, patented inventions, or natural resources, expressed as a percentage of receipts from using the property or as a payment for each unit produced. Public Domain: In Copyright law, literary or creative works over which the creator no longer has an exclusive right to restrict, or receive a royalty for, their reproduction or use but which can be freely copied by the public. Tariff: Couldnt find. Fair Use: In copyright law, fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders.
