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

[Alex Gray, Two Lochs Radio]

The one that gets me is that if someone drives to a local shop with the radio on, no additional licence or royalty is due, but if they set foot in the shop and it has the radio on, a licence suddenly becomes due.

 

Equally if two people work alone in closed offices no licence is due, but if they share an office and use one radio instead of two, or they allow someone else into their office, again a licence is suddenly due.

 

Mad or what.

We’ve run a couple of interviews with PRS on Let’s Talk Business. 1000’s of small businesses who have the radio on also pay for music which PRS has already charged the radio station. They don’t think this is fair.

 

Here’s the latest interview http://bit.ly/1PPnORW

 

Kind Regards
