PPL / NEIGHBOURING RIGHTS CLAIMS
PPL is a society that collects royalties for master rights holders and performers on a recording.
Our registered label, Confidential Records, can handle all registrations with PPL for you.
PPL registration also allows Maori Music to consider your music for Film / TV Sync Promo as well as
for themed compilation album 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 are also often termed Neighbouring Rights Royalties and 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.
