Automated Content Access Protocol: keeping your copy right
The first version of
ACAP has now become available. This tool,
available by subscription from the-acap.org has been designed by
publishers to ensure that content made available by search engines and
other redistributors complies with copyright laws.
This follows a judgment made against Google under Belgian copyright law where excerpts from publications are made available in their search results. This practice was found to be illegal and they were ordered to pay EUR 25 000 daily fine.
