My learning experiences and reflections regarding this module......the world of copyright and intellectual property is complicated and fraught! The videos that were included in the module provided a helpful learning experience as they are a good way of presenting examples regarding these areas, and of explaining what people are doing about them.
It is certainly hard to imagine how anyone can really maintain control of their intellectual property in this day and age of data and ideas flying around the world so freely. That is certainly not to say however that I do not think it a right and worthwhile thing to do to attempt to set some boundaries in order to enable creators to be duly credited with their work. It seems then that Creative Commons presents just such a needed compromise and recognition of the realities of our world, and of the added complications caused by 'intermediaries'.
