That said, the creator, or copyright holder, has full rights to waive any or all of their own right to the work. For instance, written on the back of at least one Perry and the Poorboys' CD is something to the effect of: <em>"We can't stop you from copying this CD, so if you choose to, do so with <strong>conviction</strong>!"</em> There is only a danger in not recognizing you have both legal and moral rights to your creations. Legal rights are usually designed for remuneration, whereas moral rights ensure integrity of intent. This means your song praising the Prime Minister cannot be used in a hate campaign against the Prime Minister unless you authorize it. You may not care if people copy your work without payment or credit, but you should be concerned about your work resulting in negative association towards you. I didn't want to get into a heavy legal discussion when my post was a random thought about my peers using an inconsistent copyright statement, but it is definitely an important issue to address. Thanks for bringing it up. @Caleb: Creative Commons is merely one collection of systems to provide alternate fair use terms.

Does that mean that If I hold the copyright, that I can give it away free? and if so, wouldn't that nullify the need for a Creative Commons? So that’s how copyright works.
