THE COLLECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF LITERARY AND DRAMATIC RIGHTS — AUTHORS' LICENSING AND COLLECTING SOCIETY (ALCS)

Abstract

Writers in Britain traditionally license a wide range of rights to publishers and broadcasters, often through agents. This tradition, known as the “Anglo‐American” as opposed to the “European” tradition of licensing collectively such rights, has meant individual negotiations, up‐front money and residuals.
