These tools aim to share digital media resources, such as photographs,
video and audio, for use outside of the commercial sector. This covers
both personal and not-for-profit use, and comes under a Creative
Archive/Commons license permitting the distribution of derivate works
with appropriate credits given.
Commons resources are set up so that individuals and not-for-profit
activities can get free access to resources that are otherwise
difficult to get a hold of. For example, a class of learners may wish
to work with digital video. They may have content they have created
themselves, and they wish to supplement this with historical footage;
or perhaps they are creating a more artistic montage video and are
looking for interesting video filler. Access to decent quality digital
media, especially video, is generally unrealistically expensive - and
this is where the Commons License helps to provide archives of
resources that can be freely used for just these purposes.
