Permissions
How granting and securing permission to use extracts of content works, and how PLS can help
Collective licensing provides organisations with licences to reproduce – through photocopying, scanning and digital reuse – limited extracts of content for internal reuse, such as within a business or school. However, when the reuse of content is not covered by collective licensing, individuals and organisations must obtain express permission to use it.
Permissions is a particularly complex area of publishing, and granting and securing them can be a time-consuming process—but they are vital to the framework of copyright. PLS can help make permissions simpler and easier for both rights holders and those seeking to reuse extracts of content.
