IFRRO

RROs exist in more than 50 countries around the world and are linked through their umbrella organisation, the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO). IPA is an associate member of IFRRO, and since 2004, represents publisher interests on the IFRRO Board. IPA is a member of key IFRRO committees, including the Legal Issues Committee, European Group, Development Committee for Africa and the Middle East, Equipment Levy Forum, Document Delivery Group, Digital Issues Working Group, and Membership Committee.

 

RROs are currently re-assessing their role in author/publisher relations in the digital age. Within IFRRO, IPA tries to ensure that the role of RROs generally, and in the digital world in particular, does not unduly interfere with the "primary market" of publishers.
