Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit institution and globally dynamic in offering free licenses that content writers can leverage to make their content accessible to the people without the fear of facing copyright assault.

With the Creative Commons (CC) license, the creator of a video typically grants others permission to use his work but with specified conditions.

Creative Commons offers a simple way of granting use and copyright permissions for creative work, allowing the user to access the immense CC library to edit and incorporate the material into their projects.

Whenever a user creates a new video, article or takes a photograph, he or she immediately has associated copyrights that protect that content, and cannot be used by third parties in diverse ways. On the other hand, the CC license also allows the original creator to choose how they want their work to be used by others.

YouTube announced the availability of Creative Commons (CC) licenses for its video services, as well as the introduction of new remixing features in its online video editor.

According to YouTube representatives, initially, there will be just one license option. The company stated that this idea is to begin with something simpler so users can gradually get used to the novelty.

The license to be used (CC-by-3.0) allows sharing through copying, distribution, and transmission of material and remixing, that is, a free adaptation of the posted work and the final product must be attributed to the author, specifying that he endorses the result.

According to the official announcement, Creative Commons offers a simple way of granting use and author rights. To find a video, simply search the YouTube search bar or within the YouTube Video Editor itself.
