FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Information Age Deploys iCopyright Services to Enable Instant Licenses and Permissions for its World Wide Web Content
SEATTLE, Washington, February, 7, 2007 -- Infoconomy and its flagship publication, Information Age (http://www.information-age.com), has joined the ranks of leading online news media that use the iCopyright® suite of web-based permissioning tools. Users of Information Age may obtain permissions for legal reuses of copyrighted content by clicking on iCopyright tags embedded in each article.
The iCopyright tags solve a problem that is common among online media: Allowing users to copy or redistribute desirable articles quickly and easily while protecting and tracking a publisher’s proprietary content on the World Wide Web. Without erecting barriers to content, iCopyright makes it easy for consumers of content to be respectful of copyrights and publishers such as Infoconomy to profit from their copyrights when users wish to share content with others.
“We chose the iCopyright content licensing system because of the ease of use for our readers, and because it opens up numerous licensing opportunities that were previously difficult to deliver,” said Tim Langford, Publisher of Information Age.
“As the Master Reseller for iCopyright in the U.K., we are thrilled to bring on a publication as widely regarded as Information Age,” said Tom Hickman, CEO of Media Revenue Services. “The iCopyright service will allow Information Age to not only increase revenue through licensing activities, but we will also be able to track their copyrighted content. To our knowledge, this is the first time that content licensing and tracking services have been offered in the U.K,” said Hickman.
The complete suite of iCopyright services includes ad-supported no-fee permissions for limited printing and e-mailing; instant permissions for e-mail distribution, photocopies, republication and excerpting; customized reprints and e-prints; and convenient reader services. Publishers who implement these services on their web content open a new level of engagement with their readers and capture a new stream of revenue. Prism Business Media, Penton, Ziff Davis, Reuters, the Associated Press, and Source Media are among the leading online publishers who have deployed iCopyright services.
