Collective Representation for the Internet

Collective licensing organizations like ASCAP and BMI have long helped musicians get paid fairly by working together and pooling rights into a single, indispensable offering.

Through the RSL Standard and the nonprofit RSL Collective, the internet now has a way to bring that same model to digital content—giving millions of publishers and creators a collective voice to negotiate for compensation from AI companies.

Join the RSL Collective for free to help protect the open web, and receive fair royalties and attribution every time AI companies use your content to generate a result.


Vivek Shah, CEO of Ziff Davis

"Ziff Davis strongly supports RSL’s efforts at ensuring that copyright holders receive fair compensation for their intellectual property. By working together through the shared RSL Standard, we can protect the value of trusted content."
