Song rights collecting society PRS For Music have confirmed that the International Copyright Enterprise, a massive database project launched in 2007 in partnership with their Swedish counterparts STIM, will be primarily based in the latter's offices in Stockholm moving forward, rather than at PRS's London HQ. The decision will result in some job losses at PRS, with Music Week citing sources who say up to fifty staffers could be for the axe.

A PRS statement on the matter reads as follows: "As part of the ICE project, the work undertaken by the copyright department of PRS For Music will be transferred to ICE Services AB in Sweden. The affected employees within the company have been made aware and an ongoing collective and individual consultation process has been underway for a number of months. As part of this consultation process, PRS For Music is exploring opportunities elsewhere in the business for impacted employees, as well as potential relocation to ICE offices in Sweden".
