Should my rights be registered?

What are phonographic public performance performer royalties?
Phonographic performance societies such as PPL in the UK collect Public Performance and Broadcast Licence fees from Radio & TV stations, Clubs, and other establishments playing music on their premises and distributes income to us on behalf of our registered performers for the tracks being played.
