There is no copyright on a good idea. In addition to its work licensing content, NLA media access acts as a forum for sharing ideas between publishers. Following the recommendation of the PPA Executive last year NLA now represents over 2361 magazines and websites.
As part of its work with PPA NLA is now running a series of seminars for magazine publishers – at which both PPA members and non-members are welcome. These aim to share ideas and best practice between publishers in the areas most relevant to secondary licensing. The topics include rights management, how database applications support content exploitation, and tools for managing copyright infringement. Speakers include Head of Rights and Content Acquisition, The Guardian, Sophie Hanbury, Content Partnerships Director, Daily Telegraph, , Fergus McKenna, Head of Syndication & Licensing, Trinity Mirror. Details of the events and registration details are now live at http://www.ppa.co.uk/events/
