If you write, illustrate, or create original works, from books and articles to visual art and digital media that are published, you deserve fair compensation whenever your work is used.
Access Copyright ensures creators like you can be paid for the copying and sharing of your work. By signing up with us, your published content joins a trusted and established repertoire that is international in scope and can be licensed for use by businesses and other organizations. We distribute royalties based on best practices, represent the interests of copyright owners, and handle administration so you can focus on what you do best: creating.
Signing up with us gives you access to a long-standing system that protects rightsholders and ensures fair payment.
Here’s how we support creators:
Fair compensation for reuse — When your works are copied and shared within businesses and other organizations, we collect fees and distribute them directly to creators like you, including through our annual Payback payment.
Signing up with Access Copyright is free though we do retain a percentage of royalty fees collected to cover administrative costs.
While Access Copyright is unable to provide direct legal advice, our Resource Hub can guide you and connect you with qualified legal contacts in your province or territory.
