Immediate threat to ALCS income for Authors

A recent and unexpected addition to the Government consultation on the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property is one that could effectively eradicate the income that ALCS receives from educational sources. 

We are asking for the help of all Members in the lobbying Ministers, MPs and Lords. 

For further information about what this means for you and what you can do to help, please click here.

The Google settlement has been rejected by Judge Chin. For a full report on the hearing and what's likely to happen next, please click here.
