Other collective schemes

As well as Payback, other collective licensing schemes could earn you money when your work is used in ways that are difficult to track or license individually.

These schemes are part of our work to make sure artists get the recognition – and payment – they deserve.

The future of collective licensing

We’re constantly advocating for more ways collective licensing can support visual artists. From library lending to digital reuse, we believe creators should be fairly paid wherever their work is used.
