UK equivalent of SoundExchange. Pays performers and recording rights owners for radio/TV/public airings. If you're a featured performer on a recording, you can register — even if the song isn't yours.
What PPL collects
A neighboring rights society collects on the recording rather than the composition, paying the master owner and the performers on it — a separate pool from songwriter royalties.
PPL operates in United Kingdom and collects digital performance — sound recording owner + featured performer. It was founded in 1934 and reports roughly 130,000 members.
Joining PPL
Joining cost: Free. Royalties are distributed quarterly. An IPI number is not required to register here.
