Performance Rights Society (PRS)

A Performance Rights Society like PRS (Performing Right Society) is an organization that collects royalties on behalf of songwriters, composers, and music publishers whenever their music is played publicly—on radio, TV, in venues, or online. It ensures creators are compensated fairly for their work’s use. When your music is performed or played in public, the society tracks and distributes the earnings to the rights holders. Essentially, PRS acts as a middleman, efficiently managing licensing and royalty collection to support artists and creators financially.
