PPL CEO Peter Leathem has welcomed competition in neighbouring rights.

Last month BMG announced that it was now expanding into neighbouring rights.

The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Jonas Blue are among the first clients.

“The global market is continuing to grow,” said Leathem. “Competition itself is good, it’s led to a much better market for performers. PPL entered around 15 years ago, and it has driven up the performance of the overall sector to the benefit of performers.”
