4.  "A creative commons license is a license issued by the copyright owner to allow anyone in the world to use his or her copyright work in any manner consistent with that license. Creative Commons licenses are essentially standard form license agreements which can be attached to a work to enable its use under certain circumstances without the need to contact the author or negotiate terms of use.

"There are six types of Creative Commons licenses:

Attribution;
Attribution – ShareAlike;
Attribution – No Derivatives;
Attribution – NonCommercial;
Attribution – NonCommercial – ShareAlike; and
Attribution – NonCommercial – No Derivatives."

No matter the license, you must provide credit to the originator.

5.  "Surely it is acceptable to photocopy as much as I want for my classes as long as it is for educational purposes, and not for profit?

The Copyright Act does not say anywhere that you may copy as much as you like as long as it is not for commercial purposes."  

Is content on the Internet copyrighted?

Yes. It is a common misconception that everything on the web is in the public domain. While it is true that documents on the web (and in other digital formats) are easier to reproduce and distribute than other media, the ease of reproduction and distribution does not change the copyright. Digital content is still copyrighted and copying or reproducing it without permission may be illegal. Not everything on the internet is copyright free.
