Easy does it

Rights to copy overseas content keep getting easier. Following the conclusion of agreements with licensing bodies in France, Spain, Austria, Australia, Sweden and Finland over the past 12 months, NLA media access is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Portuguese licensing body Visapress (www.visapress.pt). The new partnership will allow NLA and Visapress to license local users to copy newspaper and news website content from the other organisation.
This agreement is another step towards realising NLA’s ambition of making it even simpler for business users to access and re-use international news content legally. International news forms a small but growing proportion of media coverage for business, with the NLA directly licensing over 2,000 international businesses through its IMMO programme.
Looking to the future, NLA will continue to work through the PDLN and IFRRO licensing associations to simplify rights for UK and international business to receive and use content, encouraging the development of business friendly licensing solutions across the globe.
