What is the CCL and what does it do?
Founded in 2000, Caribbean Copyright Link serves as a Regional Center, whose task it is to accurately monitor and maintain a centralized Caribbean database, ensuring acceptable data standards for all incoming and exported information on the works stored within this database. CCL also acts as the communications “link” between the Caribbean copyright societies, facilitating regional integration and concentrated efforts in one common direction. CCL can be viewed as the “umbrella” organisation which encompasses the author societies of the region, presenting one common voice on issues relating to Intellectual property and authors’ rights. Above all, the principal aim of Caribbean Copyright Link is to place regional authors, composers and publishers in a better position to collect royalties from international markets.
