Craft shops, any business entity or individual that displays artistic works for the purpose of sale, shall provide COSBOTS with a list of works for sale and the authors therefore.

Business entities, organizations or individuals who exhibit or display artistic works to the public for a fee shall inform COSBOTS of its intention at least 2 weeks prior to the exhibition and provide a list of artistic works to be exhibited.

COSBOTS started the reprography section in 2016. Many reprographic rights organisations derive their mandates through authors’ and Publishers’ associations which in turn hold mandates from their members. In this case the partaking authors’ and publishers’ organizations become members of COSBOTS unlike with music where individual creators apply for membership.
