iCopyright launched two new licensing services aimed at helping publishers promote lawful reuses of their copyrighted content while protecting their rights.

Instant PDF E-Prints allow licensees to obtain a crisp rendering of an original article in a standard PDF file that can be posted on a site for a defined period. Licensees pay a fee to the publisher for the rights according to the duration of the posting. Instant Web Post licensing service, meantime, gives publishers two options for permitting reuse of content — by duration in months and by page view counts. Publishers can enable either or both of the options. Original content is rendered in html and hosted by iCopyright to secure and monitor it for compliance.
