EditOverseas Rights Organisations
CLA licences allow a licensee’s staff to copy extracts, within clearly defined
limits, from books, journals and magazines published in the following countries: UK, Argentina, Australia, Canada (including Quebec), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Jamaica, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein)
The licence covers all publications other than those relatively few publishers, authors and artists listed on the
Excluded Works page.
There are 27 countries with which the CLA has a bilateral agreement, to make sure that when British-published works are copied abroad, the money comes back to the UK. You can see details of those agreements on the
Bilateral Agreements page together with a list of the organisations which have them. A foreign RRO will only send money back to CLA if it has a bilateral agreement.
The following foreign RRO's do not have any kind of reciprocal agreement, and therefore do not send money to CLA:
