This content is invaluable to the world's research and scholarly communities, and granting permission for reuse of this information posed a great challenge for Wiley's rights and permissions team. Following the merger, Wiley was suddenly receiving hundreds of permissions requests each day, with no efficient way to provide prompt turnaround. Its former manual email-based procedure would not suffice, and Blackwell's semi-automated method was also not satisfactory. Customers and employees alike were frustrated, and Wiley knew that it needed a solution that would please everyone and streamline the process. http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/Editorial/Case-Studies/John-Wiley-%26-Sons-A-Case-of-Granting-Permission-85857.htmMon, 15 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMTIf you were in Europe on Friday and found that you couldn't access your Facebook account, you may have Anonymous to blame.

Many readers and authors were ecstatic. They believe that DRM is too restrictive and hinders end users from using/storing/sharing/enjoying ebooks in perfectly legal ways. Naysayers were sure that removing DRM was like handing over the keys to the store to digital pirates and that sales would plummet.http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/Column/Ebookworm/Marching-to-the-Beat-of-a-Different-DRMer-84391.htmTue, 14 Aug 2012 00:00:00 GMTThe Federal Trade Commission claims that Facebook deceived developers over security ratings due to a lacking review and verification process, according to ZDNet.

For enterprises, it's often about confidentiality and legal concerns. For the media and publishers, it's about making sure content - or intellectual property - isn't stolen or illegally reproduced. When digital files or text can be transferred with the click of a button, or posted on a new site with a simple copy and paste, age old concerns about copyright go into overdrive. Content security has come a long way since the first days of Napster, when college kids started trading music files like baseball cards.http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/Resources/Defining-EContent/What-is-Content-Security-83244.htmPeggy HagemanTue, 12 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMTLately, it seems that every other article about ebooks is news about a new lawsuit. Ebooks have a series of legal ramifications inherent to the format, problems that did not exist (or did but to a far lesser degree) in other book formats. Collusion, piracy, and who owns the right to publish what are just a few of the legal boondoggles that ebook publishers and authors are currently facing. http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/Column/Ebookworm/Ebooks-and-the-Long-Arm-of-the-Law--82976.htmMon, 11 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMTCloud-based security company, Digital Defense, has announced a new high impact security awareness program called SecurED, which the company believes will reduce the risk of security breaches within organizations.
