It allows the creator to control and profit from their work. - Works in the public domain are no longer protected by copyright and can be used without permission. Rules for when a work enters the public domain vary. - Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted works for educational purposes based on factors like the amount used and its purpose. It provides guidelines for using portions of text, images, video and audio in educational multimedia projects. - Creative Commons licenses provide tools for creators to selectively waive some of their copyrights and allow others to legally share, use, and build upon their works under certain conditions.
