creative commons

I love the idea of the creative commons, and have in fact had my undergrad senior project from College of the Atlantic "commonly copyrighted" by a younger student who knew the tech ropes. It was a handbook to recycling and composting in local areas, with the hopes of reaching a "zero waste" industrial system. The ins and outs of our current wasteful systems are much the same anywhere you go, so this guide was going to be accessible online. But I still need to scan the guide itself. Maybe someone could help me with that?

Either way, my physical project is creative commons copyrighted, and I did so with the intention of helping educate anyone interested. But now that I've learned about fair use rights, I guess I didn't need to do that. Although I wouldn't be too excited about someone pirating and making bank on my hard-earned creativity.
