PPL licenses broadcasters directly for the use of recorded music in programmes they transmit. In the same way, VPL will license broadcasters directly for the inclusion of music videos in their programming.
If you are a production company that has been commissioned by a PPL and/or VPL-licensed broadcaster to make a programme for them, the recorded music and/or music videos you include in the programmes you make will be covered by the broadcaster’s licence(s) with us.
If your programme has not been commissioned by a PPL and/or VPL-licensed broadcaster, you may need to contact the rightsholder(s) (e.g. the record label owning that track or video) to seek a direct licence.
