And We’re Still Building!
Our vision for RightsClick is a comprehensive rights management suite for the creative professional. In addition to adding more functionality to this beta version of the software, we plan to add features like optional DIY licensing tools so you can quickly authorize and track the permissions you grant. And we know that many creators often have as much interest in obtaining rights to use work as they do in protecting their own work. We’re developing tools to help support those needs as well.
Who We Are
We’ve been defending copyright for decades. We know why the system often doesn’t work for independent creative professionals. Now, we’re using that experience to build a copyright management suite for independent creators.
