i apologize. I'm slow and paranoid when it comes to laws and rights, etc. This makes me a very impatient. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
I understand that it's suppose to give the same protection, but I'm still confused about how it works.
On the Creative Commons site:

How it Works
Rather than adopting a standard U.S. copyright that will last in excess of 70 years after the author’s lifetime, the Creative Commons and a contributor will enter into a contract to guarantee that the relevant creative work will enter the public domain after 14 years, unless the author chooses to extend for another 14. To re-create the functionality of a 14- or 28-year copyright, the contributor will sell the copyright to Creative Commons for $1.00, at which point Creative Commons will give the contributor an exclusive license to the work for 14 (or 28) years. During this period, Creative Commons will list all works under the Founders’ Copyright, along with each projected public domain liberation date, in an online registry.

The whole selling part confuses me.
