The Performing Right Society

The Performing Right Society (PRS) is a UK organization that ensures songwriters and composers are fairly paid when their music is played publicly—like on the radio, TV, in concerts, or in venues. It collects license fees from those who want to use music and then distributes the royalties to the creators. Basically, PRS helps protect artists' rights and guarantees they receive compensation for their work whenever it’s performed or broadcast publicly.
