Let's be creative

Written by Lily Syafikah Mansor

You want to edit and calibrate or add up the original creation but afraid to do so. Am I will violate copyright laws? Do I have to ask the creature if I want to add something? Did I violate the copyright law if I do so? All I want to do is just to intensify it and not intent to sell it but don't know how to do? Are these questions keeping playing in our mind? Here is the solution. Try common creative! Common creative is an alternative for people to share their work and together, we could make it better and yet interesting.. Common Creative is away different from copyright. Copyright is all right reserved which is the right is fully own by the creature as the moment they create it. People who want to use it have to ask permission from the owner while common creative is some right reserved which people could use or add it as long they don't use it for commercial. Ideas and design are example of intellectual property. Intellectual property is important like Lessig said in Code, "We protect intellectual property to ensure that we create a sufficient incentive to produce it". Like Lessig said, copyright law is regulated based on this. Common creative is regulated for people to share their work. In this world today, technology innovations sometime could make people violate the copyright law indirectly. For instance, people use Youtube as a medium for them to post their work. They might use other works without their permission. Is there anything we could do about it? There are too many people who are using Youtube and it's like impossible for us to take act on each of them. It is something good if people become more creative and we could developed such a productive community. Like I said earlier, common creative is a proper way to share works and thus could prevent us from violated copyright law.So let's be creative and use common creative.
