What are you allowed to do with content on YouTube that has a Creative Commons license?

Creative Commons (CC) licenses allow creators to grant specific permissions for their work. When content on YouTube has a CC license, you are permitted to reuse it, but you must adhere to the specific terms outlined in that particular license. These terms can vary significantly, dictating requirements like attribution, non-commercial use, or sharing under the same license. Claiming it as original work is copyright infringement. Using it without attribution violates the terms of most CC licenses, especially CC BY. While some CC licenses restrict use to non-commercial works (e.g., CC BY-NC), others allow commercial use (e.g., CC BY), so "only use for non-commercial works" is not universally true for all CC-licensed content.
