Licensing for businesses and organisations
Kopinor offers collective licensing agreements that allow businesses and organisations to copy and share copyright-protected material for internal use.
The licence provides access to published works while ensuring remuneration to authors, publishers and other rightsholders.
What the licence covers
A Kopinor licence may allow employees to:
- make photocopies and printouts
- scan printed material
- make digital copies
- share material internally within the organisation
- use extracts from books, journals, magazines, newspapers and other published works
The scope of use depends on the applicable licence agreement.
Who can obtain a licence?
Business licences are available to:
- private companies
- trade associations
- non-profit organisations
- foundations
- other private organisations
Public sector organisations are covered by separate agreements.
Why collective licensing?
A collective licence gives organisations a simple and lawful way to use copyright-protected material in their daily work, while ensuring remuneration to the creators and publishers of the works.
