The following major projects have marked milestones in this work. This project was developed to address copyright ownership protection in computer assisted training. Its purpose primarily was to deliver documents remotely while allowing owners to retain control. The project developed a system to save material into a volatile workspace on a temporary basis only. The frequently made assumption that ownership rests with the publisher of a work is not always correct.
Ownership can be more diffuse.
Rights can rest with a range of players involved with a work, including film and sound companies and the author. It is sometimes uncertain whether publishers have the rights they sell. The greatest problem areas raise is that of the Trusted Third Party which collects the money. A library science project, this began three years ago. It has experienced problems in the area of using hypertext links, infringement of copyright in documents and possible accusations of republishing.
