No licence permits making copies which directly or indirectly substitute for the purchase of an
original published edition (whether print or digital) or which might be used instead of
commissioning work directly from an artist or writer.
The licensee must make reasonable endeavours to identify whether it subscribes to a digital
version of the work in question and, if so, to use that digital version instead of creating a digital
copy by scanning.
*Some licences allow limited overseas distribution of copies

Appendix
The following two slides were not shown as part
of the presentation, but are included in the
printed pack to show the ownership structure
of CLA
•
CLA is a collective management organisation (CMO) for text and image based
works.
•
We are owned by publishers (PLS) and authors (ALCS) and represent visual
creators (DACS) via an agency agreement.
•
Established for 30 years, we license copying from books, magazines, journals and
digital publications.
•
We offer licences for business, education and public sector providing the right to
copy content without the risk of infringing copyright.
•
We protect creativity by enabling creators & publishers to get a fair reward when
their work is copied.
•
CLA has generated over £750m for rights holders since 1983.
