Explain CC to your friends [July 24, 2012, 10:18 a.m.]
Exercise
You've had some time to explore Creative Commons licensing and see what it's all about. Now for the real test: try to explain CC licenses to a friend, family member or colleague. Think about how the person might relate to copyright and licensing - does she listen to a ton of music? Is he an avid creator of LOLcats? What key takeaways can you give them so they can explore CC on their own?
After you've had the conversation, come back here to answer the following questions and tell us anything else you found notable about the exchange. It would also be great if you shared any preparations you did prior to the conversation in the discussion section.
What questions did your friend ask that you couldn't answer?
Did your friend raise any interesting points? Pros and cons?
Did your friend get it? Do you get it?
