: Would creative commons be good option for bloggers to keep owenership on their contents I just want that if someone use my contents on their site, they should give a link to my site or some

@Angela700

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer:

You'd need to select an appropriate CC license.

In all cases attribution is required, you can also restrict commercial usage, the creation of derivative works and (assuming they are allowed) require that derivative works be licensed in the same way.

Regardless of which license you choose, you will retain copyright of the content. You merely provide anyone who wants it a free license to reprint (and possibly modify) as long as they abide by terms of the license.

Note however that you cannot revoke the CC license at a later date! Nor can you change to a more restrictive CC license after the fact.
