<p>While the Government recognises the value of collective licensing, only copyright
holders can determine what they want to do with their rights. Where those copyright
holders have expressed a demand for a third party to manage their rights and collect
rights revenue on their behalf, they have already set up licensing and collections
agencies. In the music sector this has already happened, and for a number of years
Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) and PRS for Music (PRS) have been licensing
rights and collecting and distributing royalties on behalf of rightsholders.</p><p>
