Copyright: It does not matter if a work is hard copy or digital, it is still protected by copyright. A regular copyright (with this symbol: ©) means you must get permission from the creator to use the work. - License: Creators can choose what kind of copyright license they want. They can determine how strict or open to be about others using, sharing, altering, or making money from their work. Creative Commons is a copyright license that allows for flexibility in how others use the work (such as to copy, alter, or make money from it). - Attribution: A citation is a formal version of attribution with very specific information about the work (MLA, APA, etc.). See best practices for Creative Commons attribution. - - Plagiarism: When you don't provide attribution to the creator of the work, it's like stealing
