Commonly Creative

I chose to work with the case study: Show Some Color, which was about individuals sharing their ideas and ideals of racial identity.

a. How does the Creative Commons project alter the way we understand ownership and copyright?

This Creative Commons project deals with owning your own input in reality movies. The project incorporates filming individuals discussing their individual lives and perceptions. The individuals involved had to sign off that their input throughout the media event could be released. Show Some Color is also made by independent producers and it deals with their rights as artists and their rights to publish their work.

b.How does this project affect the subject(s) of a work?

This affects future subjects involved in independent films. The Creative Commons license #3 relevant to future works in its dictating the right to share and remix one's own work. One must also attribute the work to specific authors or licensors. Future works of independent films and studies are able to organize and produce works depending on the licensing allowed. Show Some Color is also a local and global publication company and that affects subjects because they are being exposed to the world with their unique ideas.
