Digital rights management 

# Control who uses your content, and turn that control into revenue. 

Your copyright exists from the moment you create the work. A rights-management framework decides who can use it, where, and for how long, then enforces those terms across the platforms where your content lives.

From $695  , a flat professional fee, quoted before any work begins.

How it works

## Three steps to a working rights-management framework. 

1

### Rights and catalogue review

We map your content catalogue and the rights you hold in each work, including any work-for-hire or co-author positions. We note where the content is published and how it currently earns.

2

### Framework and policy drafting

We draft the rights matrix, your platform and marketplace licensing terms, a watermarking and anti-piracy policy, and the licensing contracts that put the framework into effect. You review each document before anything goes live.

3

### Enforcement workflow set up

We stand up an automated takedown workflow tied to your registered works and a register of who is licensed to use what. You get a repeatable process for issuing notices and tracking each one to resolution.

What it costs

## Flat professional fee, quoted up front

Digital Rights Management starts from $695. Your rights-management framework is a flat professional fee, confirmed before any work begins and based on the size of your catalogue and the platforms you use. Government filing fees for registering any underlying works are passed through at cost and quoted separately.

What's included

-   Catalogue and rights review across the works you want to manage 
-   Rights matrix mapping each work to its permitted uses, territories, and terms 
-   Platform, streaming, and marketplace licensing terms 
-   Watermarking and anti-piracy policy documented in writing 
-   Licensing contracts and reusable templates 
-   Automated takedown workflow tied to your registered works 
-   Licensee register and a repeatable enforcement process

Registration of underlying works

Quoted separately

Government fees for registering any underlying works are pass-through at cost and quoted separately. Licensing and enforcement are handled as administrative and transactional work; litigation is a separate practice.

Get started

### Build your rights-management framework

Tell us about your content catalogue and where it lives. A copyright professional responds within one business day with a recommended rights-management approach and a flat-fee quote.

Your copyright exists from creation. This framework organises and monetises the rights you already hold, and pairs well with registration of your key works.

Why GTC

## Why content owners build their rights framework with GTC.

GTC's copyright team

Copyright counsel

Attorney-led filing

### A rights matrix you can act on

One clear record of who can use each work, in which territory, on which platform, and for how long. The matrix turns scattered permissions into terms you can license and enforce.

### Built for the platforms you use

Streaming services, marketplaces, and app stores each impose their own rights terms. We draft licensing language that fits how each one handles content so your terms travel with the work.

### Anti-piracy policy, not just a takedown

Watermarking, access controls, and a documented response policy make a single notice part of a system. A consistent record also strengthens your position if a dispute ever escalates.

### Licensing infrastructure that earns

Licensing contracts and templates let you grant rights on terms that keep the upside yours, so the framework becomes a way to monetise the catalogue rather than only to defend it.

Your Customer Success Team

## A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.

Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.

### Your Account Manager

Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.

### Your Senior Account Manager

Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.

A named person, on email or a call, at every step.

The timeline

## How the framework comes together.

Each milestone below builds on the last, from mapping the rights you hold to a working enforcement loop. Timing depends on the size of your catalogue, which we confirm at intake.

1.  Week 1 
    
    ### Catalogue and rights mapped
    
    We review your works, confirm the rights you hold in each, and flag any work-for-hire or co-author questions before drafting begins.
    
2.  Weeks 2–3 
    
    ### Framework drafted
    
    We deliver the rights matrix, platform and marketplace licensing terms, and the watermarking and anti-piracy policy for your review.
    
3.  Weeks 3–4 
    
    ### Licensing contracts finalised
    
    We finalise the licensing contracts and templates that put the framework into effect, then walk you through how to use them.
    
4.  Ongoing 
    
    ### Enforcement workflow live
    
    The automated takedown workflow and licensee register run on a repeatable process, so each new use or infringement follows the same path.

Digital Rights Management FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

Do I need a copyright before I can manage these rights? 

You already hold copyright in an original work from the moment you create it, under the Berne Convention across its member countries. Registration is separate: it strengthens enforcement by securing remedies such as statutory damages and attorney's fees in jurisdictions that offer them. A rights-management framework organises and monetises the rights you already hold, and works best alongside registration of your key works.
