PPL / NEIGHBOURING RIGHTS CLAIMS
Neighbouring Rights refers to the collection of fees and royalties due to performing artists, studio
producers and labels resulting from the use of their recordings on Radio and TV or in shops and even
call waiting music.
This is becoming an increasingly significant revenue stream for labels and a steady provider of income
for both featured and non-featured performers.
Collection societies such as PPL exist across the world, collecting royalties owed to them.
Our registered label, Confidential Records, can handle all registrations with PPL for you.
This allows Maori Music Publishing to consider your music for Sync Promo including potential use in
Film / TV / Media Projects as well as for themed compilation albums and in-store music placements
etc.
(We will also ensure your songs are registered with Maori Music to be fully eligible for this).
INDEPENDENT RELEASES
PPL Royalties can be administered for you on your own label's independent releases, either digitally or
physically, if you control the Master Recording Rights, by registering them below.
If you are a performer member of the PPL yourself, then you should include your own PPL ID
(Membership) number with your registration details.
OFFICIAL RELEASES
If your music was released by a third-party record label then it is usually their responsibility to ensure
that PPL registrations are correctly made.
You should check with the label to ensure that you are correctly included within their PPL registrations.

well as sound engineers, producers etc., and you, as our main point of contact. will receive the
combined "performer's share" (50%) to be distributed as appropriate.
