Sažetak
Social evolution and transformation, as well as societal changes, have created the concept
of copyright and authorship in general, which consequently has generated the need for the
protection of individual intellectual property and its regulation. The regulation of copyright
throughout history encompasses various legal and social approaches to protecting intellectual
property. From ancient civilizations that safeguarded copyright through laws and customs
to the modern era with the development of international agreements and the digital age,
the regulation of copyright has continuously adapted to technological, economic, and social
changes. The primary goal has remained the protection of the author, fostering creativity,
while also enabling content consumption. Over time, new mechanisms and norms have been
developed to adequately address the challenges of the modern era. One of these mechanisms
is precisely the Creative Commons licenses, which provide an alternative legal framework for
sharing and using copyrighted works, allowing authors to determine the level of freedom they
grant to others when consuming their works. These licenses offer flexibility in the distribution,
modification, and use of copyrighted works, facilitating the spread of knowledge and creativity
while respecting copyright. Through Creative Commons licenses, authors can specify the types
of permissions they grant for their works, providing others with the opportunity to use them
under certain conditions, such as attribution or restriction on commercial use. This paper
enables the presentation of the positive and negative aspects of using CC licenses, along with
practical examples and a critical assessment regarding the effectiveness of such a model for
copyright protection.
