PPL / NEIGHBOURING RIGHTS CLAIMS
PPL is a society that collects royalties for master rights holders and performers on a recording.
PPL registration also allows Maori Music to submit 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, by registering them below.
If you are a 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 their responsibility to ensure that PPL
registrations are correctly made.
You should check with the label's administrators to ensure that you are correctly included within their
PPL registrations.
PERFORMERS ROLES / SHARES
Contributing Performers can include contributing artists, background singers & session musicians as
well as sound engineers, producers etc., and you will receive the combined "performer's share" (50%)
to be divided as appropriate.
Our label, Confidential Records retains the "rightsholder's share" (50%).
