PPL

If you have performed on a recording and that recording
gets broadcast, you will get some money.
PPL
All these places pay a PPL License Fee
and that fee gets split up to PPL members
when music they played on gets broadcast
Currently, it is free to be
a member of the PPL.
PRS
Performing Rights Society
The PRS is for COMPOSERS and PUBLISHERS.
If music you have composed gets broadcast,
you can get money.
Currently it costs £50 to join the PRS
What about MCPS?
This is for composers and writers for physical sales
and downloads
It currently costs £50 to join MCPS.
You would join if your music was:
- Commercially released by a record company (not a record company that you own), or
- Recorded into a radio or TV programme, or
- Recorded in an audio-visual or multimedia production, or
- Used online.
So, to recap:
PPL pays PERFORMERS when they are broadcast
PRS pays COMPOSERS when their music is broadcast
MCPS pays COMPOSERS when their music is made ready to be sold in physical or digital form
PUBLISHERS usually get royalties from ALL of these societies too!
You can be a member of all of them!
