- Ensure that all your works are covered by the collective licensing system and earn copy royalties if your works are picked up in copy surveys
- Have a voice in your collective licensing system on matters such as licence development
- There are no joining fees - so joining PLS does not add any cost to the publisher
- Collective licensing in the UK is voluntary but is important in enabling wider use of copyright-protected content, eg for education, business research and ensuring accessibility for the visually impaired
-
All proposals that PLS agrees to are approved by the publishing industry via the trade associations – therefore we believe your rights are never at risk through collective licences
-
Over the last 5 years PLS has distributed an average of £23.7m to UK publishers per annum
CLA sells licences enabling organisations to copy very limited extracts of publications for limited uses (typically one article, or one chapter of a publication for research purposes). Key sectors which are licensed in the UK are
-
Schools, FE colleges and Universities
-
Government Bodies and Local Authorities
-
Public Bodies, eg the NHS
