[cma-l] PPL / PRS for Music mini consultation

[Canalside's The Thread]

Simple answer              because they are parasites and leeches.

 

The extra charges for the Internet has always been a corker for me. I am unaware of anyone who listens to the Radio via FM and the Internet at the same time      (unless of course I have missed something?)       basically it is the same person getting charged twice at the same time.

 

I have asked for the two to be put together on numerous occasions to which the answer is similar to the ones we get from DCMS, Ofcom, Ministers       ‘’we can’t do that because’’           sadly, the because bit never makes any sense.

 

It should be one licence, if you run a DAB / FM and Internet it’s one licence, if you run FM and Internet it’s one licence if you just run Internet it’s one licence …. The licence bears in mind that we are not for profit, so it is a sensible fee based on the figure zero ……. A % percentage of not a Pot to Pee in = zero

 

Read my lips     it’s a money making racket and a licence to print money providing everyone just pussy foots along with it.

 

Go in guns blazing with all 245 Stations standing on the same side of the fence singing the same hymn …………………..onward Christian soldiers, fight the good fight or in this case how great thou art  NOT

 

Wrighty

Apart from the general principle of why they are collecting from non-profit stations as others have raised, I would like to ask for the justification for extra charges for Internet streaming and, in particular, why they demanded fees for the Low power DAB experiment/pilots.

 

We were all ready to apply for the DAB pilot but changed our mind when we realised we would have to fork out more than £2,000 to copyright bodies - money we don't have and for absolutely no benefit to us or our audience and local community.

 

Good luck!

 

regards,
