How content licensing solves AI's source quality crisis

An interview with Deepak Puri of Democracy Labs.

When starting an online publication, it can be tempting to assume that, if you write it, they will come. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. You can write the most brilliant content imaginable, but it won’t reach its full potential if nobody sees it. But this isn’t just a matter of getting your content in front of people. You also want to make sure you’re reaching the right people. In this post, we’ll look at some of the ways you can make sure your content is being seen by the people who need it most.

In November 1919, Walter Lippmann published an article in The Atlantic entitled “The Basic Problem of Democracy.” Despite the passage of time, it feels eerily prescient.

Researchers, businesspeople, academics, and professionals use platforms such as LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters Westlaw to find reliable information to inform their work. They are looking for newsworthy information, professional commentary, and independent insights. They need authoritative content that covers in-demand topics.

Can people find your publication? Chances are the answer is no. It can be expensive and time-consuming to optimize your content for search engines, but your content matters. People who need it should be able to find it without having to click through thirty pages of search results. Content syndication provides a solution to that problem.

Information databases are strong options for writers who wish to connect with a corporate audience in particular. The corporate audience is an especially engaged group of readers that actively utilizes content in their daily work. If your content is informative and well-written, you should consider publishing it on an information database in order to reach these readers.

Every business owner who has ever written a blog knows the frustration of trying to gain more readers. However, in reality it takes time and effort to build an audience.

Blogging can sometimes be an exercise in frustration. You spend hours researching and writing a post, hit Publish, and then…crickets. Over 70 million blog posts are published every month. This means that creating quality content isn't the only thing that bloggers need in order to get readers. You are competing with thousands of other blogs. Luckily, there are ways to make sure the right people are seeing your content.

Last week, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that embedding videos in your blog or website is not a copyright infringement. As long as that video hasn't been copied from the original source, the owner's copyright has not been violated. People who watch embedded videos are not infringing on the owner's copyright either. Mashable quoted the following from the ruling to offer some clarity:

The SIIA Information Industry Summit was held on January 25-26, 2011 in New York City. If you missed specific presentations or parts of the event (or if you weren't able to attend), you can find many videos from the event on the SIIA website.
