<h4 id="what-is-creative-commons-and-what-do-you-do">What is Creative Commons and what do you do?</h4>
<p>Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools. Our legal tools help those who want to encourage reuse of their works by offering them for use under generous, standardized terms; those who want to make creative uses of works; and those who want to benefit from this symbiosis. Our vision is to help others realize the full potential of the internet. CC has affiliates <a href="https://creativecommons.org/international/">all over the world</a> who help ensure our licenses work internationally and who raise awareness of our work.</p>
<p>Although Creative Commons is best known for its licenses, our work extends beyond just providing copyright licenses. CC offers other legal and technical tools that also facilitate sharing and discovery of creative works, such as <a href="https://creativecommons.org/choose/zero/">CC0</a>, a public domain dedication for rights holders who wish to put their work into the public domain before the expiration of copyright, and the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0">Public Domain Mark</a>, a tool for marking a work that is in the worldwide public domain. Creative Commons licenses and tools were designed specifically to work with the web, which makes content that is offered under their terms easy to search for, discover, and use.</p>

<h4 id="is-creative-commons-against-copyright">Is Creative Commons against copyright?</h4>
<p>Absolutely not. CC has <a href="https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/22643">responded to claims to the contrary</a>. CC licenses are copyright licenses, and depend on the existence of copyright to work. CC licenses are legal tools that creators and other rights holders can use to offer certain usage rights to the public, while reserving other rights. Those who want to make their work available to the public for limited kinds of uses while preserving their copyright may want to consider using CC licenses. Others who want to reserve all of their rights under copyright law should not use CC licenses.</p>
<p>That said, Creative Commons recognizes the need for change in copyright law, and many members of the Creative Commons community are active participants in the copyright reform movement. For more information, see our <a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/reform">statement in support of copyright reform</a>.</p>

<h4 id="what-is-an-adaptation">What is an adaptation?</h4>
<p>An adaptation is a work based on one or more pre-existing works. What constitutes an adaptation depends on applicable law, however translating a work from one language to another or creating a film version of a novel are generally considered adaptations.</p>
<p>In order for an adaptation to be protected by copyright, most national laws require the creator of the adaptation to add original expression to the pre-existing work. However, there is no international standard for originality, and the definition differs depending on the jurisdiction. Civil law jurisdictions (such as <a href="http://www.wipo.int/clea/en/text_html.jsp?lang=EN&amp;id=1034">Germany</a> and <a href="http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/html/codes_traduits/cpialtext.htm">France</a>) tend to require that the work contain an imprint of the adapter&rsquo;s personality. Common law jurisdictions (such as the <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#103">U.S.</a> or <a href="http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/C-42/index.html">Canada</a>), on the other hand, tend to have a lower threshold for originality, requiring only a minimal level of creativity and &ldquo;independent conception.&rdquo; Some countries approach originality completely differently.

<h4 id="what-are-moral-rights">What are moral rights?</h4>
<p>Copyright laws in many jurisdictions around the world grant creators &ldquo;moral rights&rdquo; in addition to the economic or commercial right to exploit their creative works. Moral rights protect the personal and reputational value of a work for its creator. Moral rights differ by country, and can include the right of attribution, the right to have a work published anonymously or pseudonymously, and/or the right to the integrity of the work. The moral right of integrity may provide creators with a source for redress if an adaptation represents derogatory treatment of their work, typically defined as &ldquo;distortion or mutilation&rdquo; of the work or treatment that is &ldquo;prejudicial to the honor, or reputation of the author.&rdquo; Not all jurisdictions provide for moral rights.</p>
