Exercise
You've had some time to explore Creative Commons licensing and see what it's all about. Now for the real test: pick one lucky friend, family member or colleague and try explaining CC licenses to them. Think about how that particular person might relate as a creator or user of a work. Does she listen to a ton of music? Is he an avid creator of LOLcats? What key takeaways can you hit on to get them excited to explore CC on their own?
