Creative Commons is a great tool that people may use to take (and keep) credit of their work without having to have an official "Copyright". At the bottom of the 23 Things page, there is a list of credits where it is stated that the 23 Things idea was created by someone else but borrowed and built upon by our instructors.
Creative Commons is very important for students to understand in the music world. In this day of downloading, burning, etc. it is so easy for students to have access to things that are copyrighted. Students should fully understand the difference between using a copyrighted piece and a creative commons piece. They should also understand how to gain a Creative Commons license for their own works.
This is the last "Thing!" Yesss!
Peace!
