Creative Commons Search

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on

You have heard of Creative Commons, right? The alternative copyright (or copyleft) that people are attaching to their work so that others WILL use it.

But how do you find the stuff you can use? Let's say you go to Flickr - some photos are available to use, some not.

Flickr offers a way to search for those Creative Commons photos, but not all sites do.

Did you know that Creative Commons offers its own search? It's not something to replace Google or Yahoo, but it serves a need.

I suggest you watch the short video, entitled "Wanna Work Together?"

They also have some videos uploaded to Revver, so support CC with a viewing.

Sidebar: Revver is the video-sharing platform that uses Creative Commons licenses to help creators possibly make money from their work. They tag a short ad at the end of each video & when someone clicks on the ad, Revver splits the resulting revenue with the video's creator. It's usually a 50/50 split.
