A Guide to Public Performance License "PPL"
PPL is a one stop solution where by virtue of ownership/control of over 3 million sound recordings you can obtain a single PPL license and play the music of your choice and avoid any hassle. Their tariffs are designed to cover all types & sizes of commercial establishments, events in public places and radio broadcasting.
Founded in 1941, Phonographic Performance Limited India, also known as PPL India, is a performance rights organization licensing its members’ sound recordings for communication to public in the areas of public performance and broadcast. PPL owns and/or controls the Public Performance rights of over 360 music labels, with more than 3 million international and domestic sound recordings.
“Public Performance” refers to the playing of music (sound recordings) by any premises/establishments where the communication of these sound recordings is to the public (multiple individuals) and not for personal consumption. This usage can be at, but not limited to hotels, discotheques, clubs, lounges, pubs, shops, stores, malls, salons, hospitals, offices, amusement parks, buses, taxis, aircraft or any form of transportation, which use sound recordings on a regular basis. In addition, playing recorded music at events, shows, parties, social functions, with or without DJs, also falls under the purview of Public Performance.
So, if you are playing music or planning to play the music on any public forum or on any commercial establishment or premise without contravening the Copyright Law of the Country, then you would be required to get the license from PPL before playing such music. By purchasing a PPL license, you have exclusive access to the entirety of their collection spanning a plethora of genres including Bollywood, Pop, EDM, Rock, Hip-Hop, Classical, Jazz, Country, Dance and others by thousands of iconic Artistes from across the globe.
