Copying overseas

CAL has reciprocal agreements with a large number of reproduction rights organisations  in other countries.

CAL is also a member of the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO) which was formally established as a federation in 1988 in response to the development of reproduction rights organisations (RROs) worldwide. IFRRO joins together RROs as well as national and international associations of rightsholders.
