Reporting your music usage

All Small Webcaster licensees are required to supply the following information at the end of each quarter throughout the licence term;

• A Webcasting Report detailing the total number of listener hours for the service (ie. the aggregate duration that all users streamed the service), and the average number of sound recordings played per hour for the quarter. Information relating to this requirement should be available from the service’s streaming provider.

Upon request by PPL, all licensees are required to supply the following information;

• A Programme Report detailing all of the Sound Recordings used during a given day’s programming (artist, track title, record company, catalogue number and ISRC)

• A Territory Report detailing the countries to which the service has been streamed during the given period (the exact make up of which to be agreed with PPL). Information relating to this requirement should be available from the service’s streaming provider.

• A Dubbing Report detailing all of the sound recordings dubbed on a central database (such as a server or PC).


If a service generates streaming and dubbing fees greater than the advance payment made under the Small Webcaster Licence, then PPL will either invoice for the additional licence fees due, or will move the licensee to the Standard Webcaster Licence.
