Today it is
possible to photocopy any documents without having to fulfill
the rights for it. This kind of saving is illusory,
because the principle of taxing each photocopy in
a contractual way to take account of this defect of royalties' perception
tends to be essential. This will eventually lead to everybody being taxed
regardless of his real need of a copy, while
on the other hand, this arbitrary taxation doesn't allow
the remuneration of the authors of the photocopied documents
in a realistic way.
Thanks to our solution, for every photocopy
of a work submitted to a perception of royalties the copier
will indicate to the claimant that the requested photocopy
requires the perception of a right.
If it is accepted, the photocopy is carried out and a transfer
of rights takes place between the requesting
company and the owner of the rights on the photocopied
work. This perception shall possibly be managed
in an automatic way via specialized organisms.
A company thus pays only the rights on the protected
photocopies of work actually copied, and therefore don't
pay any inclusive tax on current photocopies. Moreover,
the company can manage photocopies of
protected works allowing only some types of work or a part
of his employees, or by assigning a maximum of rights to discharge.
When one requires a photocopy of a protected work, there is
a gain in efficiency, for when he asks for a photocopy,
he can also get an electronic copy of the submitted document.
Also, the server of the protected document's issuer
can send the article that only interests the claimant.
The server may send it directly in an electronic format
workable by the claimant (for instance, formatted to his
word processor). It can also send articles or complementary
information relative to the copied article when the applicant
requests further information.
The issuer of protected documents is being guarded against
any illicit copy existing in the business world.
He shall perceive rights for every copy done. By creating
services adapted to the third party interested by his articles,
he opens possibilities to new financial resources for himself.
