For this project, I had to collect 4 samples of different media types from Creative Commons and credit them accordingly to show some have certain limitations of using.
I found image by searching up ''cat pictures'' on the creative common's website.
This image called ''Fat Cat'' was marked with a CC BY 2.0 license which means that anyone can share and adapt the image as long if they credit the original creator.
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
Below is the official credit to the creator with all the appropriate links.
This is an example of an animated gif I found on the creative commons website. An animated gif is an image file that contains different frames of an image shown in sequence to simulate motion, like for this instance a planet orbiting the sun showing the side facing it only gets sun/day time and the other side is dark/night time/ This image was marked with a CC BY-SA 3.0 license which means to use it you have to visit the image's website to download and use it. Make sure to credit the creator by showing the attribution information where you are sharing your work.
Below is the official credit to the creator with all the appropriate links:

This is an example of an embedded video.
This video is about 20 minutes of adorable kittens playing to better your day.
I embedded this from YouTube, which offered embed code, but there was no usage policy or licensing information.
But per YouTube policy you can download any video for personal use but it's illegal to sell and profit the videos without the creator's permission.
During this project I learned how to embed images, gifs, audios, and videos into google sites. Also, I learned that not everything on the internet you can use and it made me realize that alot of people are using other peoples work and not crediting them correctly.
