COPYCENSE

(Editor’s Note: I know I am quite late on this, but this news slipped past me during our summer of content migration and re-launch. Thank you to Barbara Hirsh, with whom I am doing some sessions during the upcoming Buying Digital conference, for the news.)

“Valeo IP, a service that provides rights clearance and reprints of copyrighted material from publishers’ websites, is ceasing operations by the end of this summer.

“Valeo IP had existed for over six years under different names and owners. Its essential business began life as iCopyright.com and embodied a simple idea: to get those who wish to make copies of publishers’ articles on websites to respect copyright, by making it as easy as possible to do so.”
