Multinational Copyright License
Simplify Copyright Compliance
Across Borders
Copyright laws vary widely from country to country, making compliance a challenge
especially when you have employees located all around the world. These challenges
include the lawful reuse of content among employees within countries, in different
countries, and scattered among corporate subsidiaries. What’s more, copyrightcompliance at the global level is further complicated by the vast amount of easily
accessible content found online.
Your organization invests in the valuable content your global employees needthrough subscriptions and other content purchases, but even so, there are gaps
and inconsistencies in rights coverage that put your company at risk. As technology
continues to simplify the way workers find and exchange information, RightsDirect
offers a trusted licensing solution that provides a simple and efficient way for
employees to collaborate compliantly across national borders using published content.
