Screenrights is the not for profit collecting society for the Australian and New
Zealand screen industry. It collects licence fees related to the use of broadcast
programs and distributes the money to rights-holders. Screenrights licensees include
Government, Educational institutions and Pay TV operators.
2015 marked an eventful year for Screenrights. In addition to relaunching its
Disbursement Service, Screenrights negotiated licences with Australian schools and
universities, and advocated for a simplification of the Copyright Act.
In this session, Screenrights representatives update AIDC attendees on progress
across these fronts and answer questions about their work in the year ahead
Speakers: Simon Lake (CEO, Screenrights), Emma Madison (Head of Member
Relations, Screenrights) and Veronica Fury (Producer, WildBear Entertainment)
