Since the establishment of The Hong Kong Copyright Licensing Association (“HKCLA”) in Oct 2001, HKCLA has provided a lawful mean for public to take photocopy of the publications of HKCLA’s members. However, there are still a number of PR firms and news clipping companies which have the practice of supplying infringing copies of the said publications to their clients without first obtaining a proper license from HKCLA or our authorized licensees.

You are strongly advised to obtain lawful copies of the publications of our members through our authorized licensees, or you may be subject to civil or even criminal liability.
