Copyright can be very confusing. When a person creates a creative work, Canadian Law grants them copyright automatically. You cannot copy or make changes to a work without the permission of the author/creator, or unless you are in accordance with rights that are granted under the Copyright Act, including fair dealing. The University of British Columbia has created a handy guide to explain Fair Dealing, which you can explore further. Seeking out licensing (or getting permission from the creator) can be very time consuming.
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that helps overcome these legal obstacles. In order to do this, Creative Commons provide Creative Commons licenses and public domain tools that provide a standardized way to grant copyright permissions for creative and academic works, help to ensure proper attribution; and allow others to copy, distribute, and make use of those works. They also work closely with major institutions and governments to create, adopt and implement open licensing and ensure the correct use of CC licenses and CC-licensed content. Creative Commons licensing is an example of proactive licensing.
