Copyright Licensing Agency

As a not-for-profit company, we distribute our revenues back into the creative industries helping to ensure rights holders are fairly remunerated when their works are used. CLA is recognised by the UK government as the collective management organisation for published material. We exist to support knowledge sharing, protect your company, and champion the creative ecosystem. Our revenue is distributed to our member organisations who pay royalties directly to copyright owners – authors (ALCS), publishers (PLS), and visual artists (DACS & PICSEL).
