Information for Publishers
Licensing solutions that enable access and use of copyright content, while ensuring the rights of publishers are respected and that they receive a fair remuneration for the use of their content.
Understanding Copyright
NLI aims to ensure a fair remuneration for those who have invested in the generation of original news content, i.e. the publisher, when that content is used by others.
Members & Publications
The NLI licence framework is particularly effective because the vast majority of Irish publishers have committed their publications to our licence mechanism.
