Music Publishers Association (MPA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Music Publishers Association,[1] founded in 1881, exists to safeguard the interests of music publishers and the writers signed to them. It provides them with a forum and a collective voice, offers them a range of practical services, represents their interests to government, the music industry and the media, and works to inform and to educate the wider public in the importance and value of copyright. The MPA also owns two collection societies: The Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society Ltd (“MCPS”), appointed by publishers to license the mechanical right to music users, and Printed Music Licensing Ltd (“PMLL”), which manages the licensing of the copying of printed music in the UK on behalf of music publishers.
