The internet has opened up the world to so many creative ideas. Artists can now share their work with millions of people with the click of a mouse. From the stand point of an up and coming artist, the internet is an excellent place to get your name out. They often do not care if people copy their work without their direct permission. But for established artists, the internet poses a danger. It is so easy to copy ones work illegally and distribute it across the world. Creative Commons hopes to simplify the process of sharing ideas and creativity, legally. When an artist publishes a work, they can go to Creative Commons and obtain a license allowing others to use their work under the artist terms. It is a way to easily and legally share ones work. If Creative Commons catches on, it will revolutionize how the industry works and open up many works of art to the masses for their own use.
