"Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society" is not a company, but a generic term for collecting societies, the organisations in various countries which collect royalties.

The official statements released by Google about this are a little unclear to me (probably because statements like this have to go through the legal department which tends to mangle perfectly good English into Legalese), but from what I can make out, it's just different collecting societies in different countries collecting royalties on the music you've used.

You can try disputing the claim -- there should be a "Dispute" button on the notification in your account settings which will take you to the correct form.
