M M Satish

MUMBAI: T-Series Public Performance License (TPPL) president M M Satish has put in his papers at music company T-Series, with which he was associated for over last five years.

The anti-piracy crusader, who made headlines with his anti piracy measures as head of the PPL at the Indian Music Industry, and then as head of TPPL, is turning scriptwriter and producer for Hindi films. Satish will be taking up the position of CEO of a reputed entertainment company within a month.

(PPL) - to collect the public performance licence fees on its behalf. It was this move that has finally prompted Satish to leave the organisation where he built the TPPL from scratch four and and a half years ago.T-Series, which was affiliated to the IPRS, withdrew its membership claiming misappropriation of accounts and the collections swelled after the TPPL started collecting royalties.

I accidentally watched it. I'm doing the pc speed test for my work. I liked it. I do not quite understand what you mean. I am sorry, I did not informed. Maybe you're right. But it seems to me that there is no deceit!
