Associated legal terms

Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS)

Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) does not deal with ‘primary rights’ (distribution rights) and remuneration, as these are dealt with via a writer’s publishing contract with their publisher, or the producer of their work. ALCS deals with ‘secondary rights’ where a third party uses a work that’s already been distributed to the public, for example, when schools photocopy books they own, or libraries lend books, or overseas TV companies retransmit UK TV signals. Royalties from ‘secondary rights’ are paid to writers through ALCS—unless the royalties come from UK library lending, when the Public Lending Right pays them.

Rental and lending rights

Copyright or a performer’s property right of certain works may be infringed by the rental or lending of copies of the work. The rights to stop other people from doing these things can be bought and sold in commerce, bequeathed by will, or otherwise dealt with meaning that they are proprietary rights. Rental and lending rights are contained within Directive 2006/115/EC (the EU Rental and Lending Rights Directive), as implemented in the UK by the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003, SI 2003/2498 and include: • the exclusive right to authorise and prohibit rental and lending of the work • the unwaivable right to obtain equitable remuneration for the rental of the work

Underlying works

When making a new film or television programme, a number of individual different copyright works will comprise the film depending on the type of production being made, eg a drama or a factual documentary. These so-called ‘underlying works’ may include: • scripts • adaptation and derivative works • translations • other literary works • letters
