The copies can be used for internal administrative purposes within your organisation, such as internal communication, research and planning as well as training organised for the organisation’s personnel and by your own staff.
Our copying licence enables creating compilations of several articles for the purposes of your organisation’s internal communication and usage. You are authorised to copy or scan several articles from a single newspaper or magazine, but not more than half of the published content.
You can distribute article compilations to the staff of your organisation by email or by saving them in a closed internal network.

Our copying licence enables copying sheet music and song lyrics for the purpose of internal use within an organisation. A maximum of 10 pages of musical notations, song lyrics and sheet music can be copied or scanned per publication, but not more than half of the publication.
Copies can only be used in events with free admission arranged by your organisation, where the audience consists solely of the organisation’s personnel. Copies of sheet music cannot be used in other public performances or in preparing for such performances.
Training and consultation activities
If your organisation arranges training or consultation sessions for clients or other external parties, you can acquire a separate copying licence from us.
How to acquire a licence
All companies require a separate copying licence. If your company operates in several locations or your corporation includes several companies, you can acquire a centralised licence or separate licences for each location and subsidiary. If you want to acquire a centralised licence for several locations or all subsidiaries within your corporation, please contact our customer service.
