Where the money relates to the licensing of public performance or broadcast (subject to the allocation of costs) one half is allocated to the relevant record company (or companies if there is shared ownership), and the other half is allocated to the performers who contributed a performance on the sound recording.
Where the money relates to the licensing of an activity where performers do not have a right of equitable remuneration (such as dubbing), all the monies are allocated to the relevant record company (or companies if there is shared ownership).
Record company track allocation
Performer track allocation
It should be noted that some of the Performer Track Allocation may not be paid to performers. Before a performer’s share is distributed, PPL checks that the performer qualifies to receive equitable remuneration in respect of the sound recording. Where there is no duty to pay a performer for that sound recording, that performer’s share is paid to the relevant record company.
