I think that the whole idea of Creative Commons is great
and vital for our digital society in which it is becoming easier and easier to
rip off other people’s work. I think it is so crucial because it gives the
public domain so much more to work with and allows others to become more comfortable
using other peoples work and thus inevitably entices others to let their work
be licensed under Creative Commons.
While at Coe, one of my projects that I think would be
worthy of opening up to the Creative Commons license would be really anything
that I have written NOT for a reasech project. These would include a 50 page
manuscript for my creative writing class as well as my technical writing works
that I did last semester. I think that these types of projects would be best
for the CC license because they are works that would be best utilized by others
because they are ideas that can be used and expressed over and over again
without really harming the integrity of my efforts.
As I mentioned above, I wouldn’t want my research papers
used for a CC license because these types of papers were written by citing
other people’s works and I put a lot of time into collecting that information.
Plus, I would probably need to get the owner’s of the sources I cited permission
to license it through CC which would be arduous and time consuming.
