Why use Creative Commons materials?
"...Use of copyright-protected material should not be a substitute for students purchasing textbooks or other books readily available in the marketplace. One key component of copyright law centers on the effect of use on the marketability of the work. Does your use dilute the market or potential sales of the copyright holder? If it does, you're probably infringing on the copyright holder's rights." CCS Copyright Guidelines

Be aware that all materials accessed or in print are copyright unless posted otherwise. Materials do not require a copyright notice to be copyright. The purpose of creative commons notification is to allow others to use materials within author defined restrictions.
