- CLA is regulated by the government as the collective licensing body for the reuse of text and images from books, journals and magazines.
- CLA is a not-for-profit company. We distribute our revenues back into the creative industries helping to ensure that rightsholders are fairly remunerated when their works are used.
Our Public Sector Copyright Licence solutions are a must-have for any public sector employee who needs to make copies from the print or online publications represented by CLA. With copying licences that cover over 16 million publications, including professional and trade magazines, scientific and medical journals, technical reports, consumer data, business books, and websites, we make it easy for you to access, reuse, and share content while complying with copyright law.
