Your business and CopyrightAccess
Easy access to informative material is essential for staying ahead in today's business world.
If you email articles to colleagues, photocopy a newspaper article or place a research paper on your company's intranet without the express permission of the copyright owner then you may be infringing copyright.
With CopyrightAccess you can continue to use informative materials for your day-to-day business knowing that you comply with copyright laws.
CopyrightAccess is an efficient and simple copyright management licence which provides you with the ability to use, within certain limits, a wealth of published materials.

What about my existing subscriptions?
The licence is designed to complement any subscription services you may already have. It provides you with the ability to fill in the gaps in copyright compliance around your use of materials provided under subscriptions and other materials you may use.
It does not allow you to create a collection that replaces your company's need to purchase or subscribe to copyright material.
