Why deal with PPCA rather than the individual copyright holders?
If you undertake the public performance, communication or broadcast of protected sound recordings or music videos, and don’t wish to deal with the PPCA, you’ll have to incur the time,expense and difficulty of finding the appropriate rights owners for all of the protected sound recordings you wish to use. Once you identify these owners you must then negotiate individual deals and undertake the necessary administration/accounting activities with respect to each of the rights owners. PPCA provides an efficient “one-stop-shop” to users who wish to undertake the public performance, communication or broadcast of protected sound recordings or music video’s covered by the PPCA licence.
