PPL announce Lativan deal
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 18 October 2010
Recording royalties collecting society PPL last week announced a deal with its counterparts in Latvia, LAIPA, ensuring PPL’s UK members are paid for any public performance of their recordings in the Eastern European country. It’s the UK society’s second reciprocal agreement with a royalty organisation in the Baltics, and means PPL now has 51 agreements with foreign societies in 28 countries.
Confirming the deal, PPL’s international man told CMU: “The contract with LAIPA is our second in The Baltics and is demonstrative of PPL’s ongoing commitment to be a world leader in international rights management. We will continue to support licensing efforts throughout the world”.
LAIPA MD Ieva Platpere added: “We are very pleased to sign the bilateral agreement with PPL. This agreement is crucial in order to fulfil one of our most important functions as a licensing company from which we will both benefit”.
