http://uk.linkedin.com/jobs/jobs-Copyright-Compliance-Specialist-2425964Notice some of the insightful verbiage in the job description:
* Facilitate the settlement of unauthorised use (copyright infringement) matters through inbound and outbound phone and email communications primarily
* Negotiating settlements. To settle and clarify with image users about copyright law and image licensing
* Assisting with legal documents, revenue reporting, calculating fees and billings of unauthorized use
* In-depth research of image licensing and use as well as customer research to obtain company information
* Review search results and determine the appropriate courses of action
* Transactional tracking and reporting for internal and external use in our database and other manual systems
* Interaction with the Sales Team and Legal Department on billing and resolution of unauthorised use issues as well as policing the adherence to company policy and procedures relating to revenue recognition and unauthorised use transactions
* Billing, calculation and analysis of fees, financial adjustments and payables
The points that stood out for me is that they prefer to engage through phone and emails, the person needs to be able to find out who the alleged infringer might be, "revenue reporting" sounds like collection/extortion fees, and "interaction with the sales team and legal department on billing" which sounds like a coordinated effort to ensure sales prices and extortion prices are in line.
You are also committed to enhance productivity to drive increases in revenue.
So, the copyright compliance specialist has responsibilities to "drive increases in revenue?" Better make the extortion amounts higher and more aggressive.
Enjoy the listing.
