INDIA VS. THE WORLD
In the area of publishing, reprography is the
most common form of reproduction. For this
reason, remuneration for reprography from
reproduction rights organisations (RROs)
constitutes an important revenue stream for
authors and publishers in many countries. RROs
exist in more than 50 countries around the world,
linked by their umbrella organisation,
International Federation of Reproduction Rights
Organisations (IFRRO). In India, the registered
copyright society for reprographic works is the
Indian Reprographics Rights Organisation (IRRO).
