Where does the money go?
After our business costs, all the money collected via TheMusicLicence flows back to our parent organisations, PPL and PRS for Music to process, allocate and distribute as royalties to the music creators they represent.
PPL and PRS for Music each have databases storing details of millions of musical compositions and recordings. Together with a wealth of information about the music which is being used by customers, this enables PPL and PRS for Music to determine fairly and efficiently which of their members to pay, and how much.
By purchasing TheMusicLicence you are supporting the future of music, by helping to ensure its creators are paid for their work, so that the people who write, perform and record it can continue making the music you know and love.
Legal Requirements
Under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders – those people who create music – in order to play or perform music in public.
TheMusicLicence gives you this permission, in relation to the vast majority of commercially available music. This ranges from grassroots and independent artists and composers through to the bigest names in the business.
