Copyright means that someone has to ask you before using your work for any purpose. Sometimes it's a pain in the butt to ask permission.
[For example, when you find a picture on the internet that is perfect to illustrate your story, it's easy to take it, but it's harder to ask the owner of the picture for permission to use it. ]
Our Creative Commons license gives people limited rights to use your work, but only on certain conditions. If you decide to write something for actionread.blogspot.com, no one can use your work without meeting these conditions:
1) attribution: Other people can use your work, but only if they give you credit ("written by Kimm Khagram" for example).
2)non-commercial: Other people can't make money from your work.
3)non-derivative: No one can change or remix your work. They must use the whole thing.
Here's the best part:
You can use other people's Creative Commons work too! People can license words, pictures, sounds, videos, and software using Creative Commons. Click here to search Creative Commons.
