In most parts of the world, including the U.S., Canada, EU countries, and Japan, you are automatically granted copyrights to your photos. Remember that you can only copyright images that you own. In some instances, you may not have the rights to all of the elements that you?ve photographed (for example, the work of another artist) and may not have the rights to reproduce that photo elsewhere. The nonprofit Creative Commons offers six default licenses as an alternative to full copyright so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. You can select a default license for your photos here. To add a license for a specific picture, click the "Change" link next to your current photo license (usually set to "All rights reserved") near the bottom of your photo page. On the Privacy and Permissions settings page, click the "Add a license to your photo" link on the right side of the page, near the bottom. On the next page, select one of the Creative Commons licenses.
