		He added that his organisation is a national collection society representing all categories of performers, including actors, dancers, singers, musicians and others who depict or deliver a literary, dramatic, musical, folkloric or artistic work.

		Although the collection societies are struggling to recruit members for their various organisations, it is not due to ignorance on the part of members of the music and recording fraternity.

	Performing Rights Society at Media Positive Radio
		Commonly referred to as PROs, or Performing Rights Organizations, a Performing Rights Society is an organization that acts on behalf of musicians, authors, composers and other related non-dramatic music artists.
		Performing Rights Societies collect performing rights license fees when any public performance of a copyrighted song produces royalties for a copyright owner; who are then paid performance royalties through that particular Performing Rights Society.
		Performing Rights Societies maintain these earnings based on a catalog of songs that are aired on radio stations; and typically, a Performing Rights Society then distributes a percentage of that fee to copyright owners as a performance royalty.

		This should be determined beforehand and, in the absence of such a license, application should be made to the performance rights society (or societies) that licenses the music to be used.
		If the song(s) or music concerned are not originally from a musical play, then it is probable that their performance could be covered by a performance rights society license, so long as the performance is not to be a dramatic rendition of the music (see number 4).
		This should be checked in advance with the performance rights society and/or the music publisher which holds the copyright on the music.

	sorry, we have detected you live in another licensing area \| Ask MetaFilter
		It is an artist or composer's right to choose whether they sell their work to respectively a record company or publishing company, but in the pop music world usually artists and songwriters have to do so in order to reach any significant level of exposure.
		Most of all we tend to associate the mechanical right with songwriters, as the mechanical right is used to hand out the songwriter's share of compact disc income.
		The collecting societies were relatively quick at noticing that music was about to go digital - this is partly because the collecting societies have long been under pressure to prove that they offer good enough value for money to publishers and composers.

	Thailand Law Forum: Private Use on Musical Works, Rights of Public Performance, and Collecting Society Systems
		The purpose of establishing the Performing Right Tribunal is to prevent or deal with any abuse of the monopoly rights conferred upon owners of copyright.(230) Even though the United Kingdom is one of members of the Berne Convention,(231) there are many provisions for the Performing Right Tribunal.
		Although this system has been criticized as unjustifiably prejudicial to the authors' exclusive right, it is, on the whole, considered to have worked efficiently and in particular it has effectively removed the risk of anti-trust accusations against Canada's performing right society (SOCAN), in marked contrast to the position across its southern border.
		The licensing organizations which administer musical performing rights in the United States were not subject to the jurisdiction of this Tribunal.

		COTT's role is to grant a licence to music users for the public performance and recording of music in Trinidad & Tobago; to collect licence fees or royalties; and to distribute royalties to its members and foreign copyright owners whose works COTT also issues a licence for in Trinidad & Tobago.
		It would be impossible for the individual composer, lyricist, songwriter or publisher to monitor the public performances and broadcasts by thousands of users of their music across Trinidad & Tobago and the rest of the world, to issue licences and collect royalties due.
		COTT facilitates users who would otherwise be legally obligated to get permission from copyright owners each time their music was performed in public, broadcast or recorded, which would probably be an expensive and difficult process.
