Frequently Asked Questions

Essential guidance for songwriters, composers, publishers, and commercial music users.

PRCS Music (Publishing & Royalty Collection Society) is an international collective management organization (CMO) that licenses musical works, tracks airplay and digital streams, and distributes performance and mechanical royalties to rightsholders worldwide.

Any songwriter, composer, lyricist, arranger, or music publisher who owns or administers original copyrighted musical compositions is eligible for membership with PRCS Music.

A musical work is the underlying composition (melody, chords, lyrics) created by songwriters and composers. A sound recording is the specific master audio track recorded by performers and record labels. PRCS Music primarily administers musical composition and publishing rights.

PRCS Music collects licensing fees from commercial establishments, TV/radio broadcasters, and digital streaming platforms under statutory tariffs. After a capped 10% administrative deduction, funds are matched to airplay logs and distributed directly to rightsholders every quarter via direct SWIFT / ACH wire transfer.

Businesses can select their industry tariff online (hotels, restaurants, retail, broadcasting, live concerts), submit their venue capacity or revenue parameters, and obtain an authorized digital blanket licence immediately.
