PPI
PPI was established in 1968 to administer record company rights in the public performance, broadcasting and reproduction of their recordings. PPI also collects royalties on behalf of performers.
PPI controls the public performance, broadcasting, and other rights in hundreds of thousands of recordings on thousands of different labels. These include not only Irish recordings but also most recordings available worldwide. The list of recordings in PPI’s repertoire is constantly increasing as new titles are released. A licence from PPI gives you the right to play virtually any sound recording from anywhere in the world.
PPI issues licences to thousands of businesses and organisations from all sectors across the Republic of Ireland playing recorded music and/or music videos in public. These can range from bars, nightclubs, shops and hotels to offices, factories, gyms, universities and local authorities.
PPI also licenses music suppliers to copy recorded music for services such as in-store music systems, jukeboxes, compilations for exercise classes and in-flight entertainment systems. PPI also licenses TV and radio broadcasters to play copyrighted recorded music as part of their programming. See what happens to the licence fee.

About IMRO
IMRO’s Mission is to:
Expand and maximise the collection and distribution of music royalties through innovation and the empowerment of music creators.
Vision:
A world where music is valued, and its creators are championed.
IMRO administers the performing right in copyright music on behalf of its members (songwriters, composers and music publishers) and on behalf of members of the international overseas societies that are affiliated to it. Music users such as broadcasters, venues and businesses must pay for their use of copyright music by way of a blanket licence fee
Copyright is a legal concept that grants exclusive rights to the creators of original works.
These rights include the ability to copy, publicly perform, distribute, and adapt the work. They can also be licensed, transferred, or assigned. Copyright is a form of intellectual property right that empowers creators to control the usage of their work and gain financial benefits from its use. In Ireland, copyright is regulated by the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000.
In Ireland, the copyright for literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic works lasts for 70 years after the author’s death. After this period, the work enters the public domain, allowing anyone to use, modify, or republish it without worrying about copyright infringement.
Copyright protection extends to various types of works, including literary works (e.g., novels, instruction manuals, computer programs), dramatic works, musical works, artistic works (e.g., paintings, photographs, sculptures), and more. It also covers the layout or typographical arrangements used to publish a work and recordings of a work (both sound and film), as well as broadcasts.
Copyright applies to any medium, which means you cannot reproduce copyright-protected work in another medium without permission. For instance, publishing photographs on the internet or making a sound recording of a book would require permission from the copyright holder.
A copyright-protected work can have multiple copyrights associated with it. For example, a music album may have separate copyrights for each song, the sound recordings, the artwork, and so on.
It’s important to note that copyright does not protect ideas; it only covers tangible expressions of those ideas. To be protected by copyright, a work must exist in a written or recorded form. In Ireland, copyright protection is automatic upon materialisation, and there is no formal registration process, unlike the United States.
To safeguard against plagiarism or disputes over ownership, creators often take precautions such as recording their work on a CD, writing it in manuscript form, or depositing it with a solicitor or bank manager. Posting it to oneself by registered mail can also serve as evidence of the work’s existence at a specific date, should the need for proof of ownership arise.
