Copy, Right with CLA
40 years of excellence
- 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 member of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI).
- As a not-for-profit company, CLA distributes revenue back into the creative industries helping to ensure that rightsholders are fairly remunerated when their works are used.
Do your employees share published content at work?
Our Copyright Licence for businesses is required if any of your staff make copies from any of the 16 million-plus print or online publications that CLA represents. Making copies includes scanning, emailing, uploading to a central server, sharing press cuttings, emailing a journal article or even making a photocopy or scan from a book or trade magazine.
Virtually all published content from print or digital sources is protected by copyright. This means you must make sure you have permission to use it at work, or you could be infringing copyright law - see 'Complying with copyright'.
Protect your business
