PRS Performing Right Society
Has an Alliance with the MCPS.
PPL
PPL is a music industry collecting society representing over 3,000 record companies, from the large multinationals to the small independents. We collect licence fees from broadcast and public performance users on behalf of the record companies. This licence fee revenue, after deduction of running costs, is then distributed to our record company members and to performers.
We grant licences for the use of sound recordings in the UK to all broadcasters - which includes the BBC (television and radio), independent television broadcasters and production companies, commercial radio, and cable and satellite channels.
In the public performance sector, we license the whole range of users which includes clubs, pubs, hotels, restaurants and shops, as well as individuals such as exercise instructors and dance teachers.
AIM Association Of Independent Music
AIM and the press:
AIM has always attracted a high level of press interest, for two reasons:
First, the UK independent record sector accounts for a quarter of the UK market and leads the world in terms of music innovation.
Second, AIM's work is as innovative as our members' music. This ranges from trailblazing new media licensing deals and lobbying on all fronts, to leveraging collective strength to create new marketing and international initiatives.
