Creative Commons aims to establish a fair middle way between the extremes of copyright control and the uncontrolled uses of intellectual property. It provides a range of copyright licences, freely available to the public, which allow those creating intellectual property – including authors, artists, educators and scientists – to mark their work with the freedoms they want it to carry.

Digital technologies offer new opportunities for making and accessing creative work of all kinds, and digital self-publishing is rapidly expanding across the world - from musicians, filmmakers and designers to universities, museums and libraries.

From this site you can choose your own Creative Commons New Zealand 3.0 Licence, find helpful advice, read about other Kiwi CC users, join the CC community and promote your work, keep up to date with news and events and share your thoughts in the forum discussions.
