VISDA is part of a global network of copyright management organizations for visual artists. We have collaboration with organizations in more than 40 countries around the world.
In the context of this cooperation, we exchange royalties, which makes it possible for the artist or heirs to an artist to collect royalties collected by us at their local copyright management organization.

At VISDA, we work at ensuring copyright-based income for visual creators in a number of different ways. The core activities are the mandatory collective copyright management, for which VISDA has been appointed by the Danish Ministry of Culture to collect, allocate and distribute royalties to all visual creators.
Such arrangements include Artists Resale Right and Extended Collective Licensing.
Please click on the links above to learn more about these arrangements.
VISDA also administer copyright on an exclusive rights basis for visual artists and heirs. To read our agreement on management of copyright click here.
Registration under all of the mentioned arrangements is free of charge for all artists and their heirs. When we pay out royalties, we make some deductions to cover our costs and to support social, cultural and educational foundations that support visual creators.
Our deductions are as follows:
| Artists Resale Right | 15% administration fee |
| Reprography | 12% administration fee + 10% deduction for social, cultural and educational foundations |
| Reproduction rights (including online) | 20% administration fee |
| TV | 20% administration fee |
If you are a visual artist, a photographer or the heir of an artist, you may be owed money for the use of your works. The vast majority of image creators are already registered with us or have been contacted by our consultants in connection with the payment of royalty. In some cases, however, it has not been possible for us to get in touch with the rightful recipients of money collected.
