In reply to Licensing for TV prop use:
Neil—
Are they public servers or in-house network servers. I am not really sure of a reason to treat licensing any differently in the latter instance: the total number of users is the total number of users, regradless of where they are geographically, as long as the corporate license covers them all.
OTOH, if the fonts are mounted on a publicly-accessible server on the internet, then you have the thorny problem of exactly how many users you actually have, and how many of them are occasional or one-time users—as in the case of customization of products, from wedding invitations to t-shirts. As I have advocated elsewhere, the only sensible approach—to my fevered mind—would be to impose and collect a one-time DRM fee at the point of sale, a task which ought to be simple enough to accomplish…but, then, finding someone who can help me edit the spacers out of an AI swatch ought to be simple enough to accomplish, too; however, to date, not a single person has offered a solution. Go figure.
