How Small Publishers Could Cash In Big on the AI Royalty Revolution: The Untold Power of Collective Licensing
PLS, which is owned by U.K. trade bodies including the Professional Publishers Association, works alongside the Copyright Licensing Agency, which handles copying licenses and returns the money to publishers and rightsholders
In the U.S., the CCC has a similar roadmap. It has adapted its copyright licensing agreements to include AI usage, which includes corporate enterprises’ private LLMs, according to Lauren Tulloch, vp and managing director at the CCC. The licenses are opt-in for rights holders and based on usage data collected through surveys. CCC has thousands of publishers and hundreds more for AI rights. The royalties publishers receive will be determined based on usage, which the CCC calculates by collecting usage samples and pays out every six months.
