Unlocking Content Licensing with RSL 1.0
A new era in content licensing has dawned with the official launch of Really Simple Licensing 1.0 (RSL). This open standard empowers publishers to set rules for how AI companies use their content, aiming to create a fairer digital ecosystem.
Key Highlights:
- Publisher Control: RSL allows content creators to dictate licensing terms directly, enhancing their authority over web crawlers.
- Industry Support: Backed by major players like Yahoo and O’Reilly Media, RSL now boasts the support of over 1,500 organizations, including The Associated Press and Vox Media.
- AI Scraper Defense: While RSL can’t completely block AI scrapers, infrastructure providers such as Cloudflare and Akamai can enforce compliance with the standard.
- Transparency in AI Use: RSL enables publishers to opt-out of AI training without risking visibility in traditional search results.
With RSL 1.0, we can redefine content value in the AI landscape.
