The MCPS is a collecting society within the music industry representing music publishers and composers. The purpose of MCPS is (on behalf of its members) to negotiate agreements with those who wish to copy or distribute music, to collect royalties due from the recording of members' copyright musical works and to distribute those royalties to the appropriate copyright owners. The Anti Piracy Unit of MCPS exists in order to investigate criminal offences in all areas of music piracy.
