iCopyright Launches New Instant Licensing Services
iCopyright (www.icopyright.com) has launched two new instant licensing services designed to help online publishers promote lawful reuses of their copyrighted content while protecting their rights: Instant PDF E-Prints and Instant Web Posting services. These services are responsive to the explosive growth in blogging and social networking, where sharing valued content is appealing to readers but often vexing to the original publishers.Instant PDF E-Prints are designed for websites and intranets that wish to directly host authorized versions of a publisher’s content. The licensee instantly obtains a crisp rendering of the original article in a standard PDF file that can be posted on a site for a defined period. Licensees pay a modest fee to the publisher for the rights according to the duration of the posting. iCopyright monitors the site and automatically prompts the licensee to renew or remove the file when the license term expires. The new Instant Web Post licensing service gives publishers two options for permitting reuse of content—by duration in months and by page view counts. Publishers can enable either of these options individually or give users a choice between the two. In either case, the original content is rendered in HTML and hosted by iCopyright so that the content can be secured and monitored for compliance. Source: iCopyright, Inc.
