Question

1. what best describes the relationship between copyright laws and creative commons licenses?

○ creative commons protects artists whose work is no longer covered by copyright.
○ creative commons protects copyright for families of deceased artists or writers.
○ creative commons allows works that are still under copyright certain freedoms.
○ creative commons allows works that are not intended to make money to be copyrighted.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Creative Commons is about works under copyright, not non - commercial/non - copyright - intended works. Eliminate.
• Option 2: Creative Commons licenses allow creators to give certain freedoms (like sharing, remixing) to others while the work is still under copyright. This matches the purpose of CC licenses.
• Option 3: Creative Commons is about the creator's choices during the copyright period, not protecting copyright for families of deceased creators (that's more related to traditional copyright inheritance, not CC). Eliminate.
• Option 4: Creative Commons is for works still under copyright, not for works no longer under copyright (public domain). Eliminate.

Answer:

The second option (the one with "Creative Commons allows works that are still under copyright certain freedoms.")
