If the funds are from foreign legal systems, why are they being distributed to U.S. authors?
 
When ASCRL’s foreign sister societies determine that some part of the funds that are collected in their country should properly be distributed to visual artists and photographers in another country, rather than their own, they rely on sister societies, such as ASCRL, to properly distribute the funds to the visual artists and photographers in the other countries. Based on its existing agreements with these foreign societies, ASCRL represents the interests of visual artist and photographer rights owners in the U.S.
 
In this somewhat complex international context, it is ASCRL’s principal mission, as a not –for-profit tax exempt 501(c)(6) organization to secure and distribute the foreign funds that are distributable to U.S. visual artists and photographers. For this purpose, ASCRL is active throughout the world in establishing bilateral agreements with foreign societies that may have funds distributable for U.S. authors.  It is then ASCRL’s mission to distribute the funds to the visual artists and photographers. ASCRL’s first distributions are scheduled to take place for the 2017 calendar year during the first half of 2018.
