Creative Commons was established primarily to provide easier use of copyrighted material in the digital age. Its founders recognized the challenges posed by traditional copyright laws in the context of the internet and digital distribution, and they aimed to create a more flexible licensing system that allows creators to share their work while still retaining some rights. This enables users to legally reuse, remix, and build upon existing works, fostering creativity and collaboration.
