Supertab Connect is now integrated with @fastly.
As AI becomes a major consumer of content on the web, publishers need infrastructure that can turn licensing terms into something machines can actually discover, understand, and transact against. Publishers using Fastly can now deploy @getsupertab Connect at the edge to help manage how AI crawlers access and license their content.
Through the integration, publishers can:
•Publish machine-readable RSL licensing terms
•Identify AI crawlers
•Enforce access based on licensing permissions
•Validate license tokens

We just launched our Managed RSL Service - a turnkey solution that makes Really Simple Licensing adoption effortless for media companies. No technical overhead, no complexity, just clear rights management and a path to AI revenue.
