The link I found is a video discussing Web 2.0 and copyleft which is basically the original owner chooses who else they will give permission to to copy their work or share the rights with other people.The play on words 'copyleft' is to catch people's attention because almost everyone knows what a copyright is.

Creative Commons is important to be familiar with so you can be aware of the things on the internet that you can and cannot share. Before taking this class, I cannot count the number of times that I have copied and pasted images onto power points or other websites without even knowing if they were copyrighted or not. Naturally, I did not do this on purpose but this doesn't seem like a subject people know much about and as teachers, it will be important to share this information.
