Creative Commons is a non-profit organization that provides free, easy to use copyright licenses to make a simple and standardized way to give public permission to share and use creative work.
Copyright
Is the intellectual property law that protects a creative work from theft or misuse. It is the creator's legal claim to the work he or she creates. By default, any original creative work is copyrighted to the creator when that work is expressed in a tangible form.
Creative Commons
Differences
When you create a work, you already have the copyright, but you can add the Creative Commons layer to that work as well. You are not giving up copyright, but modifying it to indicate specifically how the content can be used by others.
