What is MCPSI and what does it do?

Written by Press Officer on .

The Mechanical Copyright Protection Society Ireland (MCPSI) is an organisation that represents thousands of composers and music publishers in Ireland. Through an agency agreement with MCPS in the UK and reciprocal agreements with similar organisations worldwide, MCPSI also represents the rights of many thousands of other music copyright owners internationally.

MCPSI:

  • Licences companies and individuals who record musical works
  • Collects and distributes royalties payable under those licences
  • Supports a wide range of users including record companies, independent producers, online platforms, mobile services, and more
  • Licences the importation of recordings from outside the EU

👉 In short: MCPSI makes it possible for anyone who records or imports music to do so legally, while ensuring that music creators are fairly rewarded.
