Q&A for How to Attribute a Creative Commons Licensed Work

Creative commons policies mean that even if a creator distributes a work in digital format, you have permission to print and share a hard copy of the same work, but it must still be credited in the same fashion as the digital work.

It depends on where this disclaimer is. So long as it is obvious enough to make it clear that the work does not belong to the user, it may be okay. It can also be shortened to make it less "disturbing." TASL is a good acronym to use when giving credit. This stands for Title, Author, Source, and License.

There is a conflict when a user uploads CC-licensed content owned by third parties because the user cannot grant rights to content they don’t own; only the original CC licencor can grant these rights to the platform.Therefore, unless, the owner states this can be used on platform X (such as Twitter) it is best not to upload it without all the attributable credits.

All that matters is that you credit the item within the media itself. For example, you could include a complete list of attributions at the end of the video, or you could include an audio recording of the attributions at the end. For example, you could write, "Video example 1: "Science Commons" by Jesse Dylan - see attribution starting at 1:52."
