Purpose :
The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS) represents UK publishers' interests in collective Licensing. PLS’s objectives are to manage voluntary licensing schemes and optimise revenue streams for mandating publishers, to promote copyright awareness and to actively identify and contain threats to publishers' rights in the context of copyright and licensing. The PLS and the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) own the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA). PLS collects publisher mandates for a variety of copying licences and distributes money to publishers.
