For over 35 years, Access Copyright has served the reproduction rights of Canadian publishers of all types, including those in our country’s magazine industry, ensuring that when their work is copied and shared, they are fairly compensated.
Access Copyright is a copyright collective that represents over 10,000 Canadian writers, visual artists, and publishers and their works. They license the copying of this repertoire to educational institutions, businesses, governments, and others. The proceeds gathered when content is copied, remixed, and shared are distributed to copyright holders.
