The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) is a non-profit making company formed in 1982 by the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society and the Publishers' Licensing Society to protect the interests of rights owners. The CLA issues licences for organisations wishing to make copies from books and journals and passes the money on to the rights owners. The site has background information on copyright issues, getting clearance and guidance for education, business, government and other public bodies that need to obtain licences. There is information about the Copyright And Related Rights Regulations 2003 SI No: 2498 which came into effect in October 2003 and contact details for other organisations concerned with copyright issues. Annual reviews detailing the CLA's activities and accounts are available to download in PDF. The site also has information regarding works which are excluded from CLA licences.
