Mass. March 9, 1999. In our licensing efforts, we are made aware of instances where people or organizations may be using our rightsholders' copyrights without permission. We investigate these instances and pursue them as appropriate.
Most businesses use photocopies in the ordinary course of their everyday activities.
At the same time, we will continue our ongoing compliance activities, and pursue through court action, as necessary, instances of infringement. This settlement provides evidence of CCC's efforts to ensure compliance by smaller and mid-size companies, including professional and consulting firms.
