There are no limits on the amount of files that can be uploaded, so even large works that previously had to be posted can now be registered on-line.
(PRWEB) May 25, 2005 -- Copyright Witness has announced the launch of it's
long awaited on-line registration service for copyright works which is available
via www.copyrightwitness.com.
The facility allows you to
register work directly over the Internet, so cover will start immediately from
the time the work is uploaded. There are no limits on the amount of files that
can be uploaded, so even large works that previously had to be posted can now be
registered on-line.
For those unfamiliar with Copyright Witness, the
service provides a copyright witnessing facility for writers, musicians,
artists, designers and other creative individuals and organizations throughout
the world. Their registration service allows copyright owners to deposit copies
of their work as legal evidence, and helps prove ownership in case of copyright
infringement, plagiarism or other disputes.
Daymon Lester, Director and
Services Manager for Copyright Witness Ltd is keen to point out that these new
facilities build on the existing services, and that there are no plans to
discontinue the existing postal registration service,
'We believe that
it is important to retain the solid foundation of our postal registration
service, so that copyright owners know that they are dealing with real people in
a real organisation, and not simply talking to a computer.'
He also
explains why this was such a difficult milestone for the Copyright
Witness,
'Security and confidentiality for copyright owners has always
been a primary driving force. While we were keen to improve access and usability
of the service, it was also vital that we maintained a totally secure facility,
so we had to approach things the right way.
Opening up our network to
allow on-line registration meant making some hard choices, developing new
strategies and also making significant new investments in our IT infrastructure.
We have been actively working towards this goal since September 2003,
and we are pleased to announce the launch of what we are certain is, the most
secure and comprehensive on-line copyright witnessing facility in the world
today.'
