I found the use of Creative Commons to be extremely beneficial. It is nice to know that there are things out there online that you don't have to worry about whether or not you will be flagged for copyright infringement. That is one of the scariest things about using photos, media, text, and much more from the Internet. I tend to worry about whether there will be some sort of legal suite brought upon me if I am not careful in choosing my content wisely.
I like the idea of being able to share your works with other people in order to create this sense of online community collaboration. The thing that makes this type of copyright successful is being able to be still credited as an author. Even if you share your information you can always limit users to certain aspects of your work. If this were lost within the sharing of everything, I would not partake in putting any of my material online for sharing purposes.
There are a ton of projects that I have done in my Advanced Media class that I would be interested in seeing how other people attack my work. That's what makes Creative Commons so fun, is the fact that you have no idea the possibilities that may exist within your work. Everyone has different ways to approach a topic, and they bring their culture and experiences into this online sharing. The only thing that I would not want to share with other people might be some personal stories, or something that I truly want to keep my own.
