Watch our new short film produced with PRS for Music, featuring UK business owners and narrated by BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Lauren Laverne.
The film simply explains all you need to know about music licensing; including why in many cases businesses and organisations need to purchase a licence from both organisations to play recorded music in public and the difference between the our two organisations.
In the film, Lauren Laverne comments: "PPL collects and distributes royalties on behalf of performers and record companies for the use of their recorded music. PRS for Music collects and distributes royalties on behalf of songwriters, composers and music publishers, for the use of their musical compositions and lyrics.
"By obtaining licences from PPL and PRS for Music, you can enjoy the benefits of using music in your business without having to seek permission individually from all these thousands of people -- who in turn get the opportunity to be paid fairly for their work."
The film presents business owners from across the country talking about the benefits that music brings to their businesses and discusses the important contribution that licensing makes to the music industry.
