High-Tech Tools Are Making Copyright Laws Easier Than Ever to Respect
In 2003, a Baltimore jury forced financial services firm Legg Mason to pay $20 million in a copyright lawsuit brought by Lowry’s Reports. The offense? Legg Mason had bought a single copy of a Lowry market report and distributed it to as many as 1,300 stockbrokers and clients. Eight years earlier, Texaco paid a seven-figure settlement to six publishers in a case centering on whether it is “fair use” for a researcher to copy journal articles without getting permission from their publishers. And four years before that, Kinko’s shelled out nearly $2 million to settle a suit brought by eight publishers who alleged that university “course packs” infringed on their copyrights.

Changing culture: workflow and content
Reports of Content Workflow 2010 by Penny Crossland (http://digbig.com/5bbady and http://digbig.com/5bbadx ) have had me nodding from the sideline this week. I worked as an information professional in the STM sector, namely as a Clinical Effectiveness Librarian for a large NHS Trust, and content and workflow issues were always on my mind. My job quite simply - to facilitate and enable decision making and change by fumsi (find, use, manage, share information).

Enter Derycz Scientific (Santa Monica, CA), which has been working for several years on software and services to streamline the process of obtaining copyrighted material, and the permissions needed to redistribute it, either electronically or on paper

Speeding the Path to Regulatory Approval in the Era of Electronic Submissions
Newswise -- When a pharmaceutical company wants its new drug on the market, it must first submit mountains of paperwork to regulatory agencies like the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA)—most of it scientific articles describing the drug’s properties. Gathering these articles can be time-consuming, expensive and downright exhausting. And if the company opts to submit them all electronically, there’s another hurdle to clear: the regulatory agency wants all articles in the electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) format. What’s an overworked pharma company staffer to do? Answer: turn to a dedicated professional document service for help. Such a service can speed the drug approval process and help companies save time and money
