About this listen
In this episode of The Music Law Beat, host Bill Hochberg (Raines) is joined by Martin Maguire, Head of Business Development at PRS for Music, and Lance Phillips, Partner at Sheridans, one of the UK’s leading entertainment law firms. Together, they unpack the growing competition between British and American performing rights organizations and what it means for songwriters, publishers, and attorneys navigating the transatlantic music marketplace.
From pirate radio beginnings to international licensing strategies, the discussion explores the structure of performing rights in the UK versus the U.S., how cross-border affiliations are changing, and what legal practitioners need to know about royalties, representation, and rights management in an increasingly global music economy.
With insights from top British music industry professionals, this episode sheds light on where performance rights are headed—and why U.S. attorneys should be paying attention.
Presented by Raines.
