The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS) is a not-for-profit organisation that represents all book, journal and serial publishers based in the United Kingdom. PLS works to ensure that publishers are fairly compensated for any copying of their works through the collective licensing scheme, and works to ensure that publishers' copyright is protected within that scheme. The society was established in 1981 and has distributed £192 million to publishers since then.
