Every day people make copies of printed material for a number of reasons: education, research, information and business. Often they do so without approval of the copyright owner.

Before we can distribute funds to Rightsholders, we first need to know what has been copied.

We’re focused on helping owners of creative content earn a living from their work. At different times of the year, we distribute funds collected from licensing fees to Rightsholders.

Good New Zealand books and their authors are close to our heart and we’re out to declare our unreserved love.

Copyright Licensing New Zealand is the sole, recognised Reproduction Rights Organisation (RRO) in New Zealand for text-based copyright material and a member of the global body, the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO).

We have created these useful guides to explain the ins and outs of our various copyright licences.
