About the event: 

The topic we receive the most queries about is PRS. What is PRS, how do you pay it and just why is it so complicated?

In this session, we’ll clear up some of the mysteries and help you to understand how, when and where you need to make your PRS payments, and what you need to consider when performing live, sharing sheet music and broadcasting performances online. We'll also explain the new classical music tariff, and the 50% discount for leisure time music groups.

We'll talk about:

  • The definition of copyright
  • When a PRS fee is payable and how to make your payment
  • The different types of licence and what they cover
  • The changes to the classical music tariff, and the 50% discount for leisure time music groups
  • Sharing music online
  • Photocopying sheet music and sharing it electronically
  • Anything else that comes up on the topic!

 

There will be an opportunity to ask questions via the chat function during the event.

There will be a short break during the event.
