The PRS (short for Performing Right Society) is the collecting society for UKsongwriters, composers and music publishers. Its role is to act as an agent for its members in order to collect performing royalties whenever their musical works are performed in public, broadcast or transmitted. They formed an alliance with their sister company the MCPS, who collect mechanical royalties, to form the MCPS-PRS Alliance.
He added that his organisation is a national collection society representing all categories of performers, including actors, dancers, singers, musicians and others who depict or deliver a literary, dramatic, musical, folkloric or artistic work.
JACAP is a rights collection society and collects performingrights royalties, which remain with the creators of the works and their publishers (if any), and these are administered by the organisation.
Although the collection societies are struggling to recruit members for their various organisations, it is not due to ignorance on the part of members of the music and recording fraternity.
