From the investigation

Attributed referrals and effects

The PRS for Music contribution , PDF 113 / printed 109, reports its Rights Protection Unit submitting 138 website referrals . This appears in the2018/19 report, but the Operation Creative paragraph does not specify the counting period; nearby2018 dates concern separate work. This establishes PRS's attributed exercised supply of referrals. It does not show that all 138 were accepted or identify the advertisements removed because of each referral. Its surrounding MAPS/search/app achievements are different channels and must not be counted as IWL results.
