Problems with conventional licensing
The AEShareNet licensing system is a quicker, simpler and cheaper system of copyright licensing in the VET sector.
It addresses a number of difficulties and inefficiencies associated with conventional copyright licensing activity, such as that conducted in the VET sector in the past. These include:
- licensing is more complex than it might appear: see Copyright licensing checklist
- staff time and legal costs involved in negotiating and documenting licenses
- misunderstandings arise easily and consume resources
- legal mistakes are often made: see Common licensing mistakes
- potentially valuable uses are deterred; opportunities are lost
- alternatively legal niceties are simply ignored; copyright is infringed
- development of material goes unrewarded
- potential improvements are not attempted
