“What is REDPLAN NOT?
REDPLAN is NOT a data aggregator.
REDPLAN is NOT a data syndicator.
REDPLAN is NOT a data licensor.
REDPLAN is NOT an organization that mandates policies.
REDPLAN is NOT a replacement for your local attorney.
REDPLAN is NOT a for-profit company.REDPLAN is an organization focused on advocating for real estate intellectual property rights and copyright best practices, providing a “central office” for alerts and advisories concerning data theft and misuse, acting as a clearing-house for litigation strategy and – through an associational standing position – providing an organization to help class actions take hold against those violating industry copyright and data license agreements.”
A huge/messy/complicated undertaking in my opinion. You have to applaud these guys for organizing this effort. Getting everyone on the same page will be key. I think it’s smart of them to involve vendors, currently the founding members include Jay Gaskill from RED, and Martin Scrocchi from Instanet Solutions.
I have lots of questions, and it will be interesting to see what fruits this will bear.
