The Difference Between PPL and PRS For Music
PPL and PRS for Music are two separate independent companies and in most instances a licence is required from both organisations to legally play recorded music in public. While both companies licence the use of music and collect royalties for the music industry, they represent different rights holders and have separate licences, terms and conditions.
PPL collects and distributes money for the use of recorded music on behalf of record companies and performers. PRS for Music collects and distributes money for the use of the musical composition and lyrics on behalf of authors, songwriters, composers and publishers.

Famous quotes containing the words the difference and/or difference:
“The difference between Pound and Whitman is not between the democrat who in deep distress could look hopefully toward the future and the fascist madly in love with the past. It is that between the woodsman and the woodcarver. It is that between the mystic harking back to his vision and the artist whose first allegiance is to his craft, and so to the reality it presents.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
“I find it a great and fatal difference whether I court the Muse, or the Muse courts me. That is the ugly disparity between age and youth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
