Screenrights is a non-profit copyright collecting society appointed by the Australian Government to administer the provisions in the Australian Copyright Act 1968 that allow schools, TAFE colleges and universities to copy from television and radio provided they pay a royalty. Screenrights monitors copying, and distributes the royalties it collects to the copyright owners in the programs that are copied. Screenrights also offers other copyright licences and has an online resource service that helps educators use television in teaching, called EnhanceTV.
