Creative Commons and Copyright

For EDU 642 Instructional Multimedia, I was required to create a mash-up video for Copyright and Creative Commons Licenses. In view the 9 videos used to make the mash-up I realized there was a lot of things I did not know about Copyright and Creative Commons.  For example, did you know that most Creative Commons material can be used without worrying about copyright law but doesn't usually apply to multimedia unless you change it in some way, like create a mash-up? I was able to create this mash-up because of Fair Use, because I remade small portions of other video and remade it into a new video. Also, did you know that Google doesn't search for Creative Common License Content but you can search using the advance search tab and change to look for different licenses.
 When I first clicked on the site for Mozilla I thought, OH NO! this is not going to be very good for me, I'm not going to enjoy this, etc.. However, once I started using the PopcornMaker, it was extremely easy and fun!  I can see using this for many different things, personal and professional as well as sharing it with my teaching staff.  If you'd like to take a look here's the link for the Mozilla PopcornMaker site and my mash-up video!  Try it yourself!!
