The podcast discusses the importance of fairness when using and posting online content. It explains the concept of fair use and the different licenses available for sharing content. These licenses include placing content in the public domain, using a Pixabay license to prevent misuse, and four specific licenses: attribution, non-commercial, share alike, and no derivative works. Each license has its own purpose and restrictions. It is advised to be aware of these licenses when using or copying others' content online. Hello this podcast is going to talk about using and posting online content. Fairness is a big issue to resolve when using another person's creations or if you want to post your own creation. The internet has its own challenges with fairness. A fairness system evolved over the years from all the past challenges. The system is known as fair use or an item that's placed in the creative commons. I'm going to share a description of each license for you here. First if you're going to place an item on the internet that you don't care who uses it and how they want to you call putting that in the public domain. Another way is to limit it with a pixabay license which means you don't want people to use your work to spread dishonest information or bad things on the internet or to make other people look bad. Now I'm going to talk about four different licenses. The first is attribution. The second one is called non-commercial then share alike and the last one the fourth one is called no derivative works. Attribution means that others who use this work must give credit to the original author. Can you think of a time that you might want to use this kind of license on your own work? A lot of times this is for someone who is an up-and-coming artist and wants to get their music or their artwork out there but they don't want people to take claim for it because they want to get future jobs for their own work. The next one is non-commercial. This is when others may use the work only if they're not going to make money or advertise with it. This is something teachers know a lot about. We use a lot of work in the classroom but we don't charge money or make money off of it and we don't use it for advertising. The third one is share alike. Users of this work must share any new versions under the exact same license. So if you say they have to have a non-commercial license on the work then the next person who uses it from your website also has to make sure that it's a non-commercial license posted next to it as well. The fourth one is no derivative works. Users may only use this work as is and may make no changes. So it has to be the exact copy of what the creator intended and you can't modify or change it very much at all. Watch for these licenses and others like them online when you use or copy other people's content.
