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:
“Do they [the publishers of Murphy] not understand that if the book is slightly obscure it is because it is a compression and that to compress it further can only make it more obscure?”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“...pleasure lies in pursuit, not in the attainment. It is because of this, that society is never satisfied, and, however, wearied, is always on the race-track, straining every nerve to reach the goal.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
