For this project, I collected various types of media and looked into their respective copyrights.

This cutie popped up when I searched "cute bunny" on Creative Commons. I chose it because of how nice the bunny is sitting. According to them, it has a CC by 2.0 license. Creative Commons states the following about this copyright :

I found this video while scrolling through youtube. I often enjoy laughing while watching this show. I was unable to find the exact copyright for this video, however, I was able to find what TruTV (the owners of practical jokers) had to say about their materials and copyrights.

I learned about various media types such as MP4 and WAV. I also learned about a few different copyrights. While completing this project I also found out about copyright.gov, a webpage made by the United States copyright office. I can't wait to use the resources introduced to me through this in order to find media for future projects.
