Performing Rights Society
The Performing Rights Society (PRS) is an organization that manages the rights of songwriters, composers, and music publishers in the United Kingdom. It ensures that these creators receive royalties when their music is performed publicly, whether in venues, on the radio, or through streaming services.
PRS collects fees from businesses and organizations that use music and distributes the earnings to its members. This helps support artists and encourages the creation of new music, ensuring that those who contribute to the music industry are fairly compensated for their work.
