Copyright Licensing Agency

The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) is an organization that helps schools, businesses, and organizations legally use copyrighted materials like books, articles, and music. Instead of obtaining individual permissions from each creator or publisher, members pay a license fee to the CLA. In return, they get the right to reproduce and share copyrighted works within agreed terms. This simplifies the process, ensures legal compliance, and supports creators by ensuring they are fairly compensated for their work.
