This document discusses copyright and sharing works under Creative Commons licenses. It explains that as the creator of a work, you have rights over how it is used and can reserve all rights, some rights, or give up copyright. Copyright applies automatically in the EU without needing a symbol, and protects unique works for a limited time that depends on the country and type of work. Copyright has both economic dimensions around copying and distributing works, and moral rights around attribution and integrity. Creative Commons licenses allow sharing works while retaining some rights as the creator. The document encourages finding CC-licensed content and properly attributing the original sources when using them.
