Creative Commons

Creative commons is such an interesting thing that I have never heard about. Even during my year in a tech class. We did a section on copyright I wonder if they new about this? It's great that some artists allow people to at least use their works under certain conditions. It's better than waiting for many years for the artist to die and even many years after that in order to do anything with their works. It's amazing that creative commons is a nonprofit organization these day if you want to do anything with anything It'll cost you. It's always interesting hearing about new things like this, well not that new since it came out in 2001. How could I have gone with these many years not knowing about it?
