It is worth stressing that CLA's function is confined to granting licences
that enable users of copyright-protected printed books, journals and
magazines to make licensed copies. CLA does not assume any role in respect
of auditing or overseeing how BLDSC and/or its customers satisfy the
requirements for retaining copies of Copyright Declaration forms where the
library privilege exception has been invoked. It would therefore be
individual publishers who might take action if they perceived there was a
need to see copies of the old forms.
None of this of course invalidates the need to keep the forms for 6+ years.
