As a recording rightsholder, to register a recording with PPL you will need to provide the following data about that recording:
- ISRC
- Recording Title
- Band/Artist name
- Content type
- (P)Date
- (P)Name
- Country of recording
- Country of commissioning
You will also need to specify: rightsholder name, ownership type, rights start date, rights ownership percentage (if applicable) and the territories where you control the rights in that recording.
In addition, you must supply a full performer line-up for the recording, including details of:
- at least one featured performer; and
- at least one non-featured performer (or a positive indication that no non-featured performers contributed to the recording).
Providing this information to PPL ensures that performers, who have a legal right to receive equitable remuneration from the owner of the copyright in the sound recording, can be fairly paid for their work.
PPL will withhold the recording rightsholder share of revenue generated by recordings that do not meet these criteria until the required information is supplied.
For more information please refer to PPL’s Repertoire Data Policy and the Repertoire User Guide for PPL’s “Register Repertoire” tool.
