RightsPublish Product Information

What is RightsPublish?

RightsPublish is an end-to-end digital publishing solution that offers content owners a web-based "shopping Catalog" with which to sell their documents online. The content owner specifies the usage rights for the document (i.e. Enable/Disable Printing or Copy/Paste functionality, etc.) as well as the price, and then RightsPublish takes care of the rest - eCommerce clearing, digital delivery and persistent security that travels with the content wherever it goes. The content owner has complete control even after the content has been delivered!

You can't stop copying, so why not encourage it?
Documents that are wrapped with RightsPublish technology can be securely forwarded via e-mail or posted on the Internet. These practices can now be encouraged because unauthorized users will be presented with a friendly cover page that directs them to the Catalog where they can then purchase a legitimate copy!

The RightsPublish Catalog integrates seamlessly with the content owners web site, meaning that the content owner retains the branding and "look and feel" of their web site without being inundated by external company logos, advertisements, etc.

All of the RightsPublish components can be branded with the content owner’s logo - the Catalog, the Install Wizard, which appears during the download, even the document icon on the users desktop.

RightsPublish uses Chameleon technology to create different web-based shopping Catalogs, each with a unique look and feel that sell from the same central repository of data. This allows content owners to resell their digital content through multiple channels while retaining centralized control.

RightsPublish has a modular product architecture that allows easy integration into any environment. A Full Licensee can customize and integrate RightsPublish with existingworkflow, eCommerce and online solutions to reap maximum benefit from their investment.


RightsPublish is the inexpensive, quick to market, easy to implement and scalable solution for ePublishing.

Extensive Branding
RightsPublish emphasizes and reinforces the relationship between the publisher and the customer by offering you the ability to brand each piece of content and its subcomponents.

eCommerce Enabled
RightsPublish instantly enables publishers with VISA, American Express and MasterCard transaction processing, and can automatically deposit funds into an existing account. RightsPublish can integrate easily with third party eCommerce providers to ensure maximum flexibility.
File format support
RightsPublish is format-neutral, meaning that the product is not limited to supporting any one specific file type. RightsPublish supports formats ranging from PDF to MP3, with additional format support added as required. As the online industry changes and continually adopts new standards, RightsPublish changes and scales to meet publishers’ needs.
New Retail Models
New models such as try before you buy, expiry, pay-per-view and subscription open up new revenue opportunities that make the most of electronic media. Sell a single piece of content at different price points based on functionality to deliver what consumers want, how they want it.
Scalable
The modular architecture of the product allows components of RightsPublish (eCommerce, Database back end, encryption) to be "snapped" in or out, depending on the needs of the customer. This translates into a high degree of flexibility allowing publishers to smoothly integrate RightsPublish technology into environments of any complexity.
Cost Effective
Since there are minimal storage and delivery costs associated with digital media, especially in comparison to physical books, publishers can achieve better margins.
Print-on-Demand (Coming soon)
Low volume print orders are now a fact of life. Realize new revenue streams by reviving backlist titles, and save money by eliminating production, warehousing, and shipping costs associated with traditional print volume requirements. High quality print-on-demand titles arrive quicker for consumers due to a completely automated workflow/printing process.
Enables New Revenue

Who uses RightsPublish?

RightsPublish is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to sell their digital content online and protect themselves from piracy. RightsPublish has widely been used for a number of different applications, from scientific, technical and medical journals to MP3 audio books. RightsPublish provides an end-to-end solution that includes everything a content owner needs, from the web store to secure delivery and consumption.

How is RightsPublish sold?

RightsPublish is sold in two models, the Full License Model, which is brought in-house and integrated into your existing computing environment, or the Monthly model, which is a complete outsourcing of your digital publishing needs:
 

Full License

RightsPublish is installed into the licensee’s infrastructure. This allows complete control and flexibility for implementing the solution into existing workflow, document management and e-commerce systems. As the Full Licensee you are empowered to develop and host your own site and there are no RightsMarket transaction fees ­ you own the product.

This model is applicable to companies that have their own computing infrastructure and require tight integration into existing systems, or would like a solid foundation on which to build. Also, since no transaction fees are charged (other than standard clearinghouse fees) this allows you to reap maximum revenue and value from your investment.

Monthly Rental

This model requires no additional infrastructure on the licensee’s part. RightsMarket provides all the required hardware, software and bandwidth to get the licensee digitally publishing. RightsMarket develops and implements the custom site to be externally linked to the licensee’s existing web site, and provides all e-Commerce functionality (transaction clearing, auditing and reporting.)

The end result is a web-based catalog of your digital properties that is hosted by RightsMarket, seamlessly integrated with your existing web site, and secured with world-class RightsPublish technology. Also, every piece of content can be branded with the licensee’s "look & feel" (i.e. icon on the desktop, graphics on install wizard, etc.)

The Monthly Rental offers an end-to-end, simple to implement and quick to market solution for ePublishing.
