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.

Famous quotes containing the words publishers and/or society:
“Time & Co. are, after all, the only quite honest and trustworthy publishers that we know.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
