By: Staff reports CCC Signs Another Publisher
The New York Times Co. has chosen Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) of Danvers, Mass., to handle
digital rights licensing and reprint services for the New York Times on the Web.
'CCC offers instant permission to use content simply by clicking on a permissions link at the
point of content, streamlining the process from start to finish,' said Christian Edwards, group
vice president at New York Times Digital, in a statement.
CCC is one of several companies vying for the online permissions space. The company says its
online program allows publishers to determine which types of reuse to authorize, including
e-mail, Internet, and intranet. The system can also be set up to allow readers to request and
pay for print reprints.
Last month, Dow Jones & Co. Inc. chose CCC's digital solution for digital rights management of
The Wall Street Journal Interactive edition and Barron's Online.
In print, CCC claims to be the largest licensing agent for text reproduction rights, representing
over 1.75 million works from 9,600 publishers.
