The Illustrators Partnership: To reach their economic goals, artists must be equipped to effectively compete in a rapidly changing business and technological environment. First, artists must retain control of the intellectual property rights in their works. Second, artists must establish a surperior licensing presence in available secondary markets for their works, and create new secondary markets. Third, artists must learn more about how to use new business and technological models to control and exploit their intellectual property rights and content in the networked environment. Organized by and for professional illustrators, the Illustrators’ Partnership is responding to these issues and many more.{ source: www.illustratorspartnership.org }

The American Society of Illustrators Partnership: ASIP is a non-profit organization founded by 6 illustrators groups. As part of its mission, ASIP hopes to bring accountability to the reprographic rights of American popular artists. Reprography is the reproduction of something already printed. It traditionally referred to photocopying, but also now includes digital reproductions of published works. Reprographic rights are the photocopy and digital reproduction rights of your published work. Reprographic rights are separate from the first print or electronic reproduction rights. Reprographic rights are held individually by artists, but managed collectively by a collecting society. A collecting society can only administer the rights of its members, i.e., those artists who have given the society a mandate to act on their behalf.{ source: http://www.asip-repro.org }
