It’s easy to breach copyright laws by inadvertently copying and sharing content without permission. Most text and visual works are covered by copyright. If your employees copy and share text and/or images that were created by others, they’ll usually need permission from the copyright owner to do so.
Research conducted by independent market research agency FiftyFive5* shows that:
Our Annual Copyright Licence is a blanket licence that protects your organisation from the risk of copyright infringement by providing your employees with rights to copy and share third party text and images within your organisation, and selected content externally.
A blanket copyright licence enables organisations to obtain one licence agreement to cover multiple works, removing the need for you to obtain individual clearances from rightsholders for most common workplace activities like making digital copies, digital storage of copies on servers or devices, printing, scanning and photocopying**.
Copyright Agency has arrangements with other licensing organisations internationally. This means the content represented by those international organisations is included within our blanket copyright licence**.
