When artwork is used across merchandise and homewares, a best practice licence helps separate each product category, quantity, sales channel and term. This makes the agreement clearer for the artist and the organisation using the work.

Does your agency have permission to use the content it relies on every day?

From circulating media coverage and industry research to using articles and images in client work, PR and communications agencies regularly copy and share copyright-protected content.

A Copyright Licence provides permission for certain uses covered by the licence, while helping ensure the creators and publishers behind that content are fairly paid.

Licensed PR and communications agencies can also choose to be included in Copyright Agency’s online directory, giving prospective clients another way to identify agencies that have taken steps to manage their use of copyright content.

“Little World is a structurally unconventional novel told from unlikely, peripheral perspectives. It’s a book which I appreciate asks a considerable depth of attention from readers, despite its slight stature. …… To have this novel recognised by the Miles Franklin is incredibly encouraging, both personally, and with respect to what it says about the place for less conventional forms of fiction within the Australian literary landscape.” – Josephine Rowe
