Norwegian term

mangfoldiggjøre

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial IT (Information Technology)
The art of making multiple copies, as in "Når samme melding skal sendes til flere adressater, kan vi mangfoldiggjøre den, og videreformidle den til flere mottakere."
The term is also used for multiply, as in "Go forth and multiply" (the original sense, not the recent one of eff off).
I am also looking for the noun for mangfoldiggjøring. This is commonly found in copyright statements as one of the many things you cannot do to a proprietary document. Had it been just two, I'd have used to duplicate and duplication; multi- doesn't work well here.

Per Bergvall (asker) Mar 23, 2010:
Reproduction... Sounds to me like what live organisms do. This is about a company making not one byt many identical messages, for many different recipients, so replication seems better here.
Charles Ek Mar 15, 2010:
Duplication vs. Replication An example from http://www.charlotteswebstudios.com/article.php?ttd=4&ark=10

"Duplication and replication are simply two different methods of reproducing a CD or DVD. With Duplication, the CDs/DVDs are reproduced by individually 'burning' each CDR or DVDR. Utilizing a laser, information is sequentially written or burned to a CDR/DVDR. Replication is a manufacturing process whereby a mold of the data, called a Glass Master, is made and then 'stamped' onto blank media."

reproduce

I think you are looking for "reproduce" - as in permission to reproduce.

(obtain permission to reproduce from the copyright holder).

And "reproduction" might be the noun you are looking for.
Peer comment(s):

agree Hans Wang : I would suggest "right to reproduce" and "right of reproduction" as part of what is commonly referred to as the "bundle of rights" in copyright law
