Here are 5 reasons a FairLicens is relevant for you:
- Protect your employees against committing infringements: Published texts are protected by the Danish Copyright Act. This also applies to the texts that are freely accessible on the Internet. The material may only be used if so permitted by the creators of the material.
- Get permission once – instead of ad hoc: Without a solution like FairLicens, you must ask permission every time you need to use new text during the work day. With a FairLicens you avoid having to track down, contact and agree on the terms of use with every single writer, author, journalist, translator or publisher.
- Take responsibility for your corporate use of AI: 43% of Danish employees prompt using other people’s text material Read more here (in danish). This is only legal to do so if you have obtained permission from those who created the material. FairLicens addresses this potential blind spot in your compliance work and helps you to actively put copyrights on your agenda.
- Give the employees better possibilities of using text material: FairLicens provides a broad framework for using text material during the work day. The licence covers 3 different forms of use and copying of other people’s text material: use of texts as input in AI tools, digital copying and sharing as well as traditional copying.
- CSR: The payment for your licence is channelled back to the people who created the material that is used. FairLicens is issued by Tekst & Node. Tekst & Node is a non-profit organisation and distributes the revenues from the licence to our member organisations, such as e.g. the Confederation of Professional Associations, the Danish Union of Journalists, the Danish Publishers Association etc.
