Performing Rights Society

The Performing Rights Society (PRS) is an organization that ensures music creators, like songwriters and composers, are compensated when their work is performed publicly. This includes plays, concerts, radio, and TV broadcasts. Venues and businesses that play music pay a fee to PRS, which then distributes that money to the artists whose music is used. By collecting and distributing these royalties, PRS helps protect the rights of music creators and supports their livelihoods, ensuring they receive fair payment for their creative contributions to the entertainment industry.
