Fair Use Law permits the use of others' copyrighted work for academic purposes - within reason- and with proper attribution.
Public Domain: The Web, however, is also a great source of work that is in the Public Domain either because its copyright expired or because it was designated to be shared with others. Work in the public domain still needs to be attributed to its creator.
Creative Commons: The Creative Commons is a non-profit organization created for works to be shared with others. The exact terms of use for individual sources are determined by the creator.

Creative Commons Licenses: You can also register your own original work with Creative Commons Licenses.
