About Us
We Further awareness and education on the importance of copyright protection
What Do We Do
We work to protect and enable easy access to copyrighted material through licensing of academic works, newspaper articles, journals, novels, photos and illustrations, especially for large-scale copying of works including digital uses.
Who We Are
CLASS was established in 1999 by book publishers and authors to protect their published works. We are a government regulated non-profit organisation, seeking to eliminate unauthorised use of copyright works of our members and affiliates.
CLASS operates under a Constitution covering all aspects of its operations. Click here to access the CLASS Constitution.
How Do We Help
Through our licensing, CLASS collects and distributes royalties to our members and foreign creators through reproduction rights organisations (RROs). We also provide data to enable sister RROs to pay individual authors and publishers. CLASS’s main licensing focus lie towards both corporate and educational (public and private) sectors. All licensees have access to the full repertoire of works handled by CLASS.
