Public Performance Rights

Public Performance Rights refer to the legal permission required to play copyrighted music or other works in public spaces, such as concerts, radio broadcasts, restaurants, or sports events. These rights are typically managed by licensing organizations, which collect fees on behalf of creators, composers, and publishers. When a venue or organization wants to perform or play copyrighted content publicly, they must obtain a license to ensure they have legal authorization and to compensate the rights holders for their work. This system helps support creators while allowing the public to enjoy a wide range of copyrighted material legally.
