PPL announces new international partnerships
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 30 May 2012
Recording rights collecting society PPL has announced six new international alliances, meaning the rights body will be able to collect public performance and broadcast royalties for UK labels and recording artists in those territories. The new countries where agreements between PPL and local rights organisations now exist are Croatia, Estonia,Greece, Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal.
Says PPL’s Director Of International Laurence Oxenbury: “Signing these new agreements with our European counterparts is great news and shows our commitment to maximising the rights of our members. We already cover a significant part of the global market by value of collections; we are now looking to fill in the gaps and ensure that our members are being paid from all of the smaller markets. 2012 is already shaping up to be a very encouraging year”.
