Since Copyright protection limits free use of many works, it can sometimes be difficult to find sources for teacher or student projects and multimedia presentations. Fortunately, Creative Commons allows users to share images, music, video and other creations freely. Established in 2001, Creative Commons is a nonprofit corporation, whose purpose is to make it easier for people to share, mix and build upon the works of others. Utilizing six main licenses, creators freely share their work under certain conditions and uses, or dedicate them to the public domain. Depending upon the license, users can use works in collaborative ways and then, publish and license their final product.

Sounds: SoundBible.com, the “Encyclopedia of Sounds,” allows users to make requests of the online community and contains royalty free sounds effects that are either in the public domain or have CC Attribution licensing. SoundTransit, an original German phonography project, is now an international collaborative online community that provides field recordings with CC Attribution licensing. Music and spoken word: CC Mixter, a community website for music and spoken word audio clips. American Music, a subscription based database that offers copyright free music, requires a login (ocps) and password (copyright).
