Image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons)When talking about rights on the Internet you have to understand that there isn’t many. On most websites that your are freely allowed to join and post videos, blogs or photos you are bound to what is called a Creative Commons (this is the reason why MySpace and Facebook display random images of people on their home site). Social networking websites such as the largely used Facebook and Twitter all share what is called the Creative Commons (CC) meaning that while you own the picture or information that you put on their website they are allowed to used it for advertising purposes. Other versions of the CC allow others to share and redistribute your work as long as it’s not for profit and that they always credit you.
Other laws that apply on the Internet are the all-famous Copyright, which is means that all rights (or most) are reserved solely to the creator. And then there is SouceForge which was created to allow people to edit a piece of code however they like and to redistribute it freely however not for profit. This allows this allows code editors to rebuild programs to suit their needs while still having the core of the original program.
