Creative Commons Resources

This section contains a list of resources whose creators have made them free for sharing so that you can use them in your video. Note that while we call this page "Creative Commons Resources", there are a variety of licenses that allow sharing and, of course, public domain resources, which are completely free to use. For the nitty-gritty on copyright, check out the Copyright in the Digital Age page.
