Image

This is an image of an 8th generation Corvette, modified to compete in the GT3 racing class.

I found it by searching "Racecar" on Google, and then using the creative commons filter on the images. This image is under the CC-BY-NC-ND license, which means I am free to share this image as long as:

-I provide a link to the license, give appropriate credit, and indicate if any changes were made.

-I cannot use it for commercial purposes

-If I modify the image at all, I cannot distribute it.

Here is the proper credit;

Animation

This is a really cool GIF I found of guys doing what's called touge drifting, which is where you drift on a mountain pass road. I found this GIF by searching "Drift" on the creative commons website.

This GIF uses the CC-BY-SA 4.0, which means I can distribute this GIF as long as I credit the creator of it. If I make any adaptations, they have to credit the original artist as well.

Audio

The audio I chose is a song called "Funked Up". I chose it because it is on my gym playlist, and has a nice beat. It's currently very popular on TikTok for people dancing to it.

This song was posted under the creative commons BY-SA License, which allows for distribution and commercial use. It also allows for modification, as long as the original artist is credited. I found it through SoundCloud, using the sort feature to look for songs that are filtered to "use commercially"

Video

The video I chose is a video from my all time favorite video game, Gran Turismo 7. In this video, the person racing is going around one of the most famous race tracks in the world in a car that is absurdly powerful. In real life, it is extremely impressive if you can do a lap in under seven minutes, but in this video he does one in under four.

I found this video by searching "Gran Turismo" on YouTube, and sorting to only show creative commons videos.

Any YouTube video marked with Creative Commons uses a CC-BY license, meaning you can share, and modify the video in whatever way you want, as long as you give credit to the original creator.

What I Learned

Doing this assignment, I learned how restrictive copyright laws really can be. A lot of the popular YouTubers I watch don't have creative commons turned on, so you can't use their content in any way without a possible copyright strike. This could get you in some serious trouble. I also learned how to convert a SoundCloud file into an .mp3 file, so that could be useful in the future.
