PPL + VPL / NEIGHBOURING RIGHTS CLAIMS
Neighbouring Rights refers to the collection of fees and royalties due to performing artists, studio producers and record labels, resulting from the use of their recordings on Radio and TV, 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.
Our registered label, Confidential Records, can handle all registrations with PPL / VPL for you.
(You must ensure your titles 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 AUDIO 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).
VPL Royalties can be administered for you on your own label's independent VIDEO releases, either digitally or physically, if you control the Master Recording Rights, by registering them below.
OFFICIAL RELEASES
