About Us
Screenrights is a not-for-profit membership organisation that provides rights and royalty management services to the screen industry.
We facilitate access to screen content through simple licensing solutions for teachers in education, administrators in government, and home viewers with subscription TV – and provide royalty payments to members for the programs audiences love.
