What is IMPEL?
IMPEL – Independent Music Publishers’ European Licensing – is a collective of independent publishers who have joined together to license their Anglo-American* mechanical digital rights on a pan-European basis. IMPEL is the first vehicle which allows independent publishers to take advantage of the European Commission Recommendation on the collective management of online music rights and provides a convenient one-stop shop for licensees of this repertoire. IMPEL has chosen PRS for Music as its partner society to license and administer the participating publishers’ rights on its behalf, and has the full support of the Music Publishers Association. IMPEL began operations on 1 Jan 2010.
