Today’s lead article discusses the impact of digitization on copyright issues with Copyright Clearance Center’s CEO Tracey Armstrong. One of the issues raised is whether the cost of licensing content is ultimately too expensive for individuals who want to publish digitally. Armstrong believes there is something out there for everyone, from affordable all-you-can-use buffet buckets of content to the iconic or prestigious or famous a-la-carte options. What’s more, she states that as time marches on, and content proliferates, there will be even more options affordable to most. That said, licensing is still expensive to many working in a digital format. Some have suggested that content licenses should be less expensive for digital distribution.
