Contract Ref.:/ Req. Ref.: Date:General Permission Agreement • August 17th, 2017
This new GPA is drawn up on the basis that the BBC Trust (or any other successor regulatory body appointed by the BBC’s Royal Charter and Framework Agreement with the Secretary of State) regulates what services the BBC may offer either as public services or as commercial services. The GPA takes advantage of this by setting a fee for the use of artistic works in the public services or commercial services as a whole instead of by each individual use. However there is an option for the BBC to purchase rights for its websites alone in appropriate cases.
