What's in it for you?
- You keep control over how and where your work is used
-
When your work is reproduced, you are entitled to copyright
-
This allows you to focus on creating, while your rights are properly managed
From use to payment: here's how it works
- Someone wants to use your work in a publication, communication, or online application
- With your permission, a license will be granted
- Royalties are paid for that use
- We calculate and collect the copyright
- You will receive your income
How is your revenue calculated?
That depends on:
- the type of use (book, poster, catalog, website...)
- the print run or reach of the publication
- the way your work is reproduced (excerpt, full page, central placement, etc.)
- your contribution to the work
Generally, the wider the reach and the more visible the use of your work, the higher the revenue will be. For example, a work featured on the cover of a catalog is compensated differently than a small detail image inside.
Good to Know
- Use on websites, social media, and other digital platforms is also covered by these rights
- Are you selling a work? In principle, you still retain your copyrights
-
Make sure your work is properly identified so that royalties can be attributed to you
