Absolutely not, though it was born originally out of publishers’ desire to find a way of asserting their online copyright that didn’t involve lengthy and expensive legal cases with search engines or any other partner in the supply chain. We are currently working on the next phase of the project where we are extending ACAP for other business models and media. Any ACAP member (see below) can submit a user case proposal based on their own specific business model. Whilst the original use cases have of course influednced the way that ACAP looks right now, ACAP will develop as more use cases are proposed.
