Like so many others here, I object to the separate charges by
PPL/PRS for FM, webcasts, DAB etc - the overall number of listeners
will remain the same.<br>
<br>
Many Community stations will play a lot of music by local unsigned
bands who will get nothing (other than exposure) - how do PPL/PRS
justify paying money to Justin Bieber et al (I don't think that
anyone here has actually played him) but pays nothing to a busker
who self-releases some music which we feature and do actually help
generate sales for them?<br>
<br>
We use Canstream for our webcasts - we don't purchase the bandwidth
for a Radio 2 level of listenership. What possible justification do
PPL/PRS have for the level of charges for webcasts?<br>
<br>
I have submitted the form as requested and look forward to the
response from PPL/PRS, but......??!! :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
