Music Ally Focus #64: PPL’s CEO Peter Leathem talks about its 2021 results, the future of neighbouring rights, and how US performers should now be paid when their music is played on EU radio.
The PPL has just announced its 2021 results and, as with most business areas affected by covid, it’s a complicated story. We’re asking Peter to talk through those results, but also what will happen next in the slightly mysterious world of neighbouring rights. In 2021 the PPL saw more money come in but slightly less, due to covid, go out – and the money was shared amongst more people. He’ll also talk about the recent European Court of Justice ruling which means that performers from the USA may for the first time be paid when their music is played on the radio in Europe.
