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.
