We offer free legal and technical tools that allow creators to publish and share their works on more flexible terms than standard copyright.
Digitaltechnologies have

Creative Commons licenses make
copyright about opportunities.
Creative Commons provides tools for creators to grant permission ahead of time

These permissions include
the right to copy/distribute, perform, display, build upon, and remix.
These tools are also for managing your own copyright
