Today, the most well-known licensing scheme for partial rights reservations is the Creative Commons ("CC") license system. Creative Commons was established in 2001 by Lawrence Lessig, Hal Abelson, and Eric Eldred, with the aim of providing content creators an alternative to the strong default protections afforded under copy-right. [*704] n29 The CC licenses allow creators to license their content to users with restrictions chosen from a menu of commonly desired moral and economic rights reservations -- for example, prohibiting derivative works or modifications to downstream licensing. n30 Licensees typically receive the licensed content and the license grant directly via the Internet, often from a content repository like Wikimedia Commons or Flickr and without direct contact with the copyright holder. As long as the licensee complies with the terms of the rights reservations selected by the copyright holder, she is free to use and redistribute the work without further restriction.
