Performing Right Society

The UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 gives copyright owners certain exclusive rights.

The PRS is an association of composers, songwriters and music publishers which exists to collect royalties for the non-dramatic public performance and broadcasting of their copyright works. PRS is affiliated to similar societies throughout the world.

Licence fees for the public performance and broadcast of musical works are collected by the PRS.

MCPS collects and distributes mechanical royalties generated from the recording of music onto different formats. Income is distributed to their members - writers and publishers of music.

The MCPS-PRS Alliance manages common activities, services both societies and is jointly owned by them. The site gives information and contact detail on both societies.
