In addition, UMG is a member of producer collecting societies engaged in collective rights management, such as Phonographic Performance Limited, or PPL, in the UK and the SCPP in France. UMG also works with analogous trade associations, e.g. International Confederation of Music Publishers, International Music Publishers Association and various European national associations (such as the Music Publishers Association in the UK) as well as collecting societies, e.g. PRS for Music in the UK, in relation to music publishing. In the US, the primary trade associations we belong to are: * Recording Industry Association of America; * National Music Publishers Association; * Sound Exchange.
