What is copyright?
Copyright stems from the U. S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 and empowers the United States Congress -- "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Copyright is a form of legal protection that allows authors, photographers, composers, and other creators to control some reproduction and distribution of their work.
There are several different rights that come along with copyright. In general, copyright holders have the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:

1. Reproduce the work in whole or in part
2. Prepare derivative works, such as translations, dramatizations, and musical arrangements
3. Distribute copies of the work by sale, gift, rental, or loan
4. Publicly perform the work
5. Publicly display the work

What is protected by copyright?
Copyright protects literature, music, painting, photography, dance, and other forms of creative expression. In order to be protected by copyright, a work must be:

1. Original: A work must be created independently and not copied.
2. Creative: There must be some minimal degree of creativity involved in making the work.
3. A work of authorship: This includes literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, audiovisual, and architectural works.
4. Fixed: The work must be "fixed in a tangible medium of expression" - written on a piece of paper, saved on a computer hard drive, or recorded on an audio or video tape.

How can one register for copyright?
You do not have to register your work to receive and retain copyright protection, but if you plan to publish, post, or otherwise distribute your work, it may be a good idea to do so since registration confers a number of legal benefits. You may register a work at any time while it is still in copyright. Registering is not difficult, and the fee is $45.00: for instructions and forms, visit the United States Copyright Office website.

Creative Commons

Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.[2] The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees.

Choosing a license for my work.

I prefer the CC BY-NC License for all my Fab Academy documentation, the final project and all the assignments(documentation only).Creative Commons is like... It is maintained by a non-profit organization based out of America. It provide the option to legally distribute and give the work to the public. There are different flavors which the content creator can choose and make the license. I have discussed what I usually give under CC licensing. The CC is very commonly used in licensing creative contents and you can see it around the web in many places. CC is inspired from commons ideology. The licenses is generally known as "some right reserved" similar to the "All rights reserved" of copy right.
