The company also announced that Dow Jones & Company, a publisher of business and financial news and information, has selected CCC as the exclusive provider of digital rights management services for its online editions of The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. Readers can get permission to use content from these publications by clicking on a permissions link on the publisher's website. ``After beta-testing different digital rights management services, we chose CCC because of its 20-year track record in the complex business of managing rights and distributing royalties to rightsholders. CCC possesses both the technology and the rights management savvy to do the job correctly,'' said Joe Acevedo of Dow Jones & Company. CCC's new solution lets publishers and other content owners determine the types of reuse they wish to license. They decide whether to license use of their materials in electronic media such as e-mail, Internet, intranet or CD-ROM; or in print media such as photocopies and reprints. Copyright holders can also specify distinct rights, terms and conditions for different pieces of content. For end-users, CCC's digital rights management solution delivers the content electronically to the desktop, or fulfills reprint requests automatically by routing them for printing and delivery to the user. Individuals and organizations can pay for their orders online by credit card or request an invoice. ``The digital publishing market is expected to grow from approximately $8 billion today to up to $70 billion by 2004. CCC is pleased to offer a sophisticated e-commerce solution that helps rightsholders increase revenue opportunities and enhance service to their customers while maintaining control of their copyrighted material,'' said Joseph S. Alen, president and chief executive officer of CCC. ``Rightsholders can either choose a complete solution or select CCC's digital rights management services, such as licensing, a la carte.''
