1. The fundamental tension the creators of Creative Commons were trying to resolve.

# data[].attributes.body
The primary issue Creative Commons was trying to resolve was the restrictions of copyright law and the unlimited technological possibilities of the internet. The hope was to essentially be more inclusive and allow more creativity and innovation.

2. The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act

2. The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act

# data[].attributes.body
"This act extended US copyright terms for works by individual authors by twenty years". This act delayed works from entering public domain. Works were copyrighted until 50 years after the authors death, because of this act, it is now 70 years after the authors death. Then, the works become public domain.

An interesting component of the CTEA is that the "70 years after" does apply to anonymous works or works that are owned by a corporation.

It was named this because Sonny Bono was a member of the House of Representatives at the time and he supported this extension.

Essentially, this case challenged whether the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act was constitutional. The argument was that the act infringes on free speech. The court determine with a  7-2 decision that the act was constitutional and Eldred lost the case.

This case spurred the formation of Creative Commons: a set of licenses that embrace the digital and global possibilities while also providing attribution to the creator. Creative Commons works within standard copyright and there are still rules to follow, but it allows more innovation and creativity. Hence: Creative Commons!

Creative Commons, to me, is an opportunity to share, create, and innovate in all forms of education and media. Today, specifically beginning in 2020, Creative Commons "embarked on a new strategy, focused on empowering governments, institutions, individuals, and communities around the world." This includes three key components: Advocacy, Innovation, and Capacity Building.

There are three ways to describe Creative Commons: an organization, a set of licenses, and a movement.

1. Creative Commons, the organization, is a non-profit organization that has the legal tools and power the open movement. It's most current strategy is to include those three components above: advocacy, innovation, and capacity building.

2. Creative Commons, the licenses, are a combination of attribution, share-alike, non-commercial, and  no derivatives.  There are six Creative Commons licenses.

3. The Creative Commons, the movement, is about advocacy, innovation, and capacity building. It is also growing to include GLAMs, which is very exciting! This includes converting currently non-digital cultural heritage resources to digital opportunities for the world to share.

The Creative Commons licenses have core values built into them: sharing, openness, collaboration, knowledge and creativity.

Especially with the incorporation of GLAMs, knowledge and creativity are the "building blocks" of human culture and should be something celebrated rather than restricted.

7. The ways to become involved with Creative Commons and the Creative Commons Global Network

# data[].attributes.body
Informally, anyone can be involved with Creative Commons by creating and sharing works in the community, using licenses appropriately.

There is also the CC Global Network, where anyone who is interesting in working with open movements can do so. Currently, there are over 600 members and over 40 chapters in the world!

Our institution encourages the use of open education materials at every opportunity, so I feel like we are an informal partner already. I hope we can become a more formal partner.
