The NLA is proposing to charge organisations for forward and receiving URLs. The charges will apply to press cuttings and scrapings agencies, to PR agencies and to businesses in general. If you use a press cuttings or scrapings agency or systematically forward or recieve emails as part of your work then you will require a licence. The licence will initially be 10% of the current NLA licence (needed for photocopying newspapers) and 1 will be required for each person sending/receiving the URLs. There is no indication how much it will go up by!
This is money for nothing and we must unite against it!
From 2010 the NLA license covers agencies self-sourcing content. Increases only apply to those paying for / selling on content from scrapers etc. Full info on nla-web.co.uk
