How to register a release (video)

Registering a release is important as it can help to maximise your revenue with PPL. For example, some broadcasters might provide PPL with release information (e.g. catalogue numbers) when reporting airplay.

Registering release information might make it easier for PPL to match that airplay to recordings. Some international CMOs that PPL work with consider certain release information to be mandatory for payment.
