The creative commons experience was definitely something new. I never realized that the pictures on the internet belong to someone and that they may not want them to be used. Using creative commons was a little stressful because it took quite a while to find the type of picture that I wanted. There isn’t as much of a variety of creative commons and finding a good picture is harder than just using an unrestricted search. It is strange to me that people would post things on the internet and not expect other people to use them. Although I can see their reason for wanting the picture, it seems contradictory to publish something that you want for yourself. Giving them credit is something that I understand, but not being able to use the picture at all seems a little ridiculous. Overall, the creative commons experience wasn’t too bad, but it definitely wasn’t the same as going to Google, searching what you need, and instantly getting quality results. For my creative commons I used Flickr.com.
