ARDITO Tools

The suite of tools developed by ARDITO partners have all the aim of simplifying the connection between content creators and content users, thus contributing to the creation of a lively and sustainable eCopyright digital single market and increasing the lawfully use and re-use of creative content. To do so, content users have to be aware of copyright, permissions, licenses and reuse conditions established by content creators on their content. Content users, however, get in touch with the content itself first and need an easy and immediate way to be connected to the rights and the content creators.

ARDITO partners have developed tools for Images , Publishing , e-Book Publishing, Video, and Multimedia.

The Copyright Hub end-user tools moreover provide an extra entry point with a clear recognisable visual identity.
