Kopinor, the Reproduction Rights Organisation of Norway, represents copyright holders of published works through 23 member organisations - 6 publishers' associations and 17 authors' associations.

By law or through bilateral agreements with Reproduction Rights Organisations in other countries, Kopinor also represents foreign rightsholders. Today, Kopinor collects for approximately 80 % of the copyright protected material photocopied in Norway.

Kopinor is empowered by its member organisations to negotiate and conclude collective agreements on photocopying and similar uses of copyright protected works in all areas of society. A new and important goal is to negotiate agreements on digital reproduction of Norwegian works in libraries, in educational institutions and in public and private enterprises.

In 2008, Kopinor distributed NOK 151 million to Norwegian rightsholders and 38 million to foreign rightsholders. Since 1980 Kopinor has collected more than NOK 3 billion in reprographic fees.
