Your Content, Everywhere
We have seen this movie before. In 1995, the arrival of the World Wide Web brought new business opportunities along with questions about managing intellectual property rights. The same storyline also played out beginning in the 1970s with the commercial availability of photocopiers.
At the nonprofit Copyright Clearance Center, which came into existence in the Photocopying Age and was an early arrival in the Digital Age (we registered www.copyright.com in 1995 and began conducting e-commerce soon thereafter), we understand the need to look constantly beyond established approaches to copyright licensing while making it easier for content buyers to secure reuse rights. In other words, the key is to address technology-driven challenges with technology-driven solutions.
