PRS for Music (Performing Right Society)

PRS for Music, or the Performing Right Society, is a UK-based organization that represents music creators, like songwriters and composers. It ensures they get paid when their music is played in public, such as on the radio, in shops, or at events. When a business uses music, they pay a fee to PRS, which then distributes the money to the creators based on how often their music is played. This system helps protect the rights of musicians and supports them financially, encouraging the creation of more music.
