Priced at £100, ProDub Top-Up will cover DJs and other performers for up to 1,000 copies and will be available exclusively for repeat ProDub purchasers. If copying activity exceeds 1,000 tracks, the next appropriate price tier should be bought.

The ProDub Licence allows DJs and performers to legally copy, transfer or rip music to a digital format to be used on laptops, MP3 players or other digital equipment when DJing. In purchasing ProDub, the licensee owns the copies forever; there is no annual fee. ProDub licensees simply need to declare how many tracks have been copied in a one-year time frame.

Further improvements to the scheme include:

1. ProDub Top-Up: £100 for up to 1,000 copies (repeat purchasers only)
2. Introduction of ProDub licensing card for year one licensees (delivered first week of July)
3. Removal of the ‘expiry’ date on PDF licensing documentation (the licence does not expire)

ProDub licensees can be safe in the knowledge that their licence fee goes directly to the people who created the music, via royalty collection societies - PPL and MCPS (part of the PRS for Music group). Many songwriters, composers and musicians are ‘unseen’; providing their creativity to the headline artist. ProDub guarantees that these unseen contributors also receive the royalties that they deserve.

Further details, including a searchable database of current ProDub licensees, can be found at www.produb.co.uk.
