“Employees want to be able to reuse copyrighted content such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, blog postings and video content in all formats from as many titles as possible. And they want an easy verification process to know what rights have been granted to them when they go to use that content.”

“While each individual may only have about five or six key publications they regularly follow in a given year, as a collective whole, it would be prohibitively expensive to have 100+ company licenses to account for all the publications. In addition, it would have been such an administrative nightmare to keep track of those hundreds of license agreements, so CCC hits that sweet spot for us.”
