Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), a not-for-profit organisation providing copyright licensing solutions, has announced the appointment of the just-retired US Register of Copyrights, Marybeth Peters, to its Board of Directors. The announcement was made by CCC CEO, Tracey Armstrong.
Marybeth Peters became the United States Register of Copyrights on August 7, 1994. From 1983 to 1994 she was policy planning adviser to the register. She also served as acting general counsel of the Copyright Office and as chief of both the Examining and Information and Reference divisions. Peters is a frequent speaker on copyright issues.
With Marybeth's appointment, CCC seeks to continue to expand its expertise in copyright policy matters. Having recently hosted IFRRO's annual meeting and a successful copyright policy event on Capitol Hill, CCC will continue to expand its efforts in copyright policy matters through its bi-annual OnCopyright leadership symposium and future events.
CCC advocates the responsible use of content while providing the expertise to make it simple to do so through licensing technology, certification programmes, webinars, regional workshops and more for authors, publishers, corporations and academic institutions. In September 2010, CCC announced the opening of its European subsidiary, RightsDirect.
