Numly Now Offers Creative Commons Copyrights

Numly, formerly ESBN.ORG, has extended its All Rights Reserved copyright registration services to now include Creative Commons' Some Rights Reserved licenses!

This service is currently only available via the Numly web portal. It allows authors and artists to select their desired copyright license type to be assigned to their works in real-time. The author or artist's digital asset is registered in Numly's systems along with the date and time stamp of their submission. Numly returns a unique identifier called a Numly Number along with the HTML code required to post the Numly Number, Numly verification link, and Creative Commons license and logo in your content. The entire process takes less than 1 minute to complete!

Authors, artists, and even publishers can also generate unique Numly Numbers and copyright license types for each copy of work assigned to an individual or company. This copy of work and copyright can then be tracked and even later reassigned. We call this Good DRM.

Numly Addresses Time Zones

Numly, formerly ESBN.ORG, has modified its systems to report Numly Number registrations on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time rather than Pacific Standard Time (PST), where our servers are located. This change will allow us to provide a better service to our international customers as well as US customers by standardizing on a universal time zone.

To learn more about UTC, please direct your browser to this explanation from the US Naval Observatory.

I would like to thank James Collins for this suggestion!

Numly Adds Digital Fingerprinting to Copyrights

Numly has added digital asset fingerprinting to its copyrighting services and extended its 256KB upload file limit to 5MB per file. This enhancement allows authors and artists to upload larger digital assets to our services for copyright proof and verification services backed by our Numly Number registration.

Rather than retaining the uploaded file on our servers, we now apply a digital fingerprint in our databases linked to the Numly Number provided at the time of your content registration. Future disputes can validate the document in question by re-uploading it along with the Numly Number (ESN) assigned at the time of registration and we will return a positive or negative validation result based on the authentication of the document.

Numly views this enhancement as a very important step in the future of copyrighting digital media including: audio, video, images, ebooks, and other digital assets.

Note: We are experimenting with the upload file size and may allow for much larger uploads file sizes in the near future. We will also need to apply this update to our Firefox extension and Apple OSX widget.

ESBN.ORG now NUMLY.COM

After receiving a letter from ISBN citing possible trademark infringement claims, ESBN.ORG has changed its name to Numly.com.

I am a big believer in saying, "things happen for a reason." The name Numly better aligns our focus of an online Number System in the Web 2.0 space.

If you have already registered your content under ESBN.ORG, your content and assigned numbers are still valid. Our use of ESBN terminology has now shifted to ESNs (Electronic Serial Numbers) or Numly Numbers.

Numly Numbers will continue to be used for digital asset registrations, copyright nonrepudiation, and basic digital rights management. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer: ESBN.ORG has no affiliation with ISBN or ISBN.ORG whatsoever.

ESBN Adds Web 2.0 Verification Shortcut Feature

Accessing the ESBN.ORG verification page just got simplier! No more URLs to remember. Simply direct your browsers to verify.esbn.org/esbnid

For most online content, you can click on the ESBN ID in someone's blog to be automatically directed to the ESBN verification page. Reasons an ESBN ID may not contain a verificationlink include: older ESBN IDs did not provide the verfication link, sometimes bloggers remove the link, or you may be looking at an offline digital asset like an e-book.

Here is an example of how to verify the ESBN ID on this blog:
verify.esbn.org/44806-060224-365196-15

Use ESBNs as Biblio References

Do you ever reference other works such as blogs or wikis or websites in your works? Most of us do from time to time.

Copyright law requires that you cite references in your works derived from other's works. These references are typically accomplished in the bibliography in printed works. What about digital or online works? How do you reference online works? You can't use a URL - these change too frequently.

This is where ESBN IDs can help! Simply add the referenced work's ESBN ID to your article or content immediately following the quotation. There isn't a standard format for this yet but you can try "Reference ESBN xxxx..." where the ESBN ID is the referenced work. To Even do a bigger favor to the original author, you could add the verification link around their ID so that other readers can easily click the referenced ESBN ID and link back to the ESBN.ORG verification page.
