Content relicensing services provide publishers with steady if somewhat unglamorous revenues from individuals and institutions willing to pay a premium for the rights to redistribute copyrighted content. But what about the untold millions of individuals who forward content via emails to people who they know - with nary a bit of revenues going to publishers? iCopyright has come up with a simple solution to this long-standing dilemma: make it easy for users to do this using a version of the content that has contextual ads embedded.

Hey John, great article, except you forgot to tag it with iCopyright so that you could make money when I emailed it to everyone I know. Any idea where I can buy reprints? :-)
 
Mike,

As a research and advisory firm that tries to maintain a neutral stance in the marketplace we have avoided integrating services that promote other brands - even those which we believe are good services. That said, we're always looking for new ways to "walk the talk" of content best practices. More to come.

In the meantime, yes we do have a reprint policy...

Best,
John Blossom
