[cma-l] Fw: Copyright Licensing Agency

[Chris Barnes]

Had a great deal of hassle from a similar agency a couple of years ago
and after politely trying to tell them it didn't apply to us, I ended up
refusing to take any phone calls and ignoring letters and emails.
Haven't heard anything since.

	Dear Ms Martin,

	 

	RE: The Copyright & Related Rights Regulations 2003 SI No 2498

	 

	I am writing further to my email dated 19/11/2010 regarding your
company's current arrangements to ensure the legal copying and scanning
of copyright publications.  I have not yet received a response.

	 

	I note that your business does not hold a licence from CLA
ensuring the lawful copying of copyright works from published media.
This is despite important changes to the law which took effect in 2003
which prompted thousands of other UK businesses and PLCs to apply for a
licence. I enclose information concerning this issue and the CLA
Business Licence for your attention.

	 

	The change in law means that, with very few exceptions, any
commercial organisation now wishing to copy or reuse copyright articles
and information from published magazines, journals, periodicals or books
(or cuttings from these editions) will require a CLA licence or other
statutory authority to ensure lawful copying. Many businesses will have
relied upon the limited "fair dealing" exceptions in the past when
making copies from published editions but this defense no longer
applies. 

	 

	Typically copying might occur for market research,
communications, press office, marketing, PR or competitor intelligence
purposes. We also know from the surveys we conduct in businesses that
copies are made for case studies, business profiles, company
announcements, health and safety, director biographies, legal work,
management information etc.

	 

	The enclosed Business Licence permits photocopying from millions
of magazines, journals, periodicals and published editions in addition
to scanning and email delivery. The cost of a licence is based upon your
business sector - SIC 92 Band B CLA Rate Card, and the number of
'Professional Employees (managers and above and all staff holding a
professional qualification) in your business.

	 

	Please contact me on 02074003142 or Hardeep.mudhar at cla.co.uk to
discuss your organisation's licence requirements. I attach a CLA licence
application form for your urgent attention. Please pay particular
attention to the section covering indemnity for past copying. It is CLA
policy to backdate the licence for a minimum of two years.

	 

	If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me,
or consult your own independent legal advisor as soon as possible.

	 

	I would appreciate your early response in this matter.

	 

	Yours Sincerely

	Hardeep.
