Program accomplishments

  • The Organization (ASCRL) solidified existing relationships and established new foundational relationships with foreign entities that permit ASCRL to collect, administer, and distribute reprographic and collective rights revenues for the visual arts and photography industries. This was the primary and only program service engaged in by the organization during the reporting period. The organization implemented a wide-scale distribution system for non-members for the benefit of the trade as a whole and continued plans for collective rights administration as a domestic program for educational institutions and for businesses for limited internal use of visual materials. These efforts facilitate licensing where market failures, impracticalities, and costs have impeded licensing transactions for licensees and rights owners. The organization also sought to advance collective licensing initiatives under congressional consideration.
