This is a very important topic of discussion. It is very important to cite whether or not something is copyright. There are five components of copyright: Fair Use, Creative Commons, Public Domain, Commercial Purposes, and of course Copyright. These are all ways to protect your creative work that you post online. Fair use allows you to use only a small part of someone else’s creative work as part of something new. Commercial use is for name brand company that protect their logos, for example the Nike swoosh. Copyright is the most protective way to protect your creative work. If you want to use something that is copyright then you have to get special permission for the copyright holder to do so. Creative Commons helps you legally share your work on the internet by letting people use your work, but giving credit to you at the same time.Public domain is when materials are free to use without any permission and what happens to pieces of work when their copyright expires. If someone stole my work, I would feel very salty and mad at the same time.
