<p>That's <span>very informative - thank you.</span></p>
<p>But they've left out (or - Heaven forbid - ignored) two important aspects of the responses to their Joint Consultation:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1 - If this is a Licence - as opposed to a Service Charge - why isn't it issued by the only Licensing Authority in the system - which is Ofcom? <span>PRSfM and PPL are commercial businesses - not Licensing Authorities</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2 - Despite many requests - there is still no categorical statement as to why PRSfM and PPL are entitled in Law to claim these payments - and precisely where this is written in UK Legislation.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry - I know I've asked this many times before - but it's something we do need to have laid before us - and by the very people who are making these far-reaching demands.</p>
<p>My feeling is that broadcasters large and small who p<span>art with their hard-earned cash before being happy with the answers are rather unwise.</span></p>
<p><span>This isn't going to go away.<br>
It makes no odds to us - we don't pay these charges - it's you out there, our friends and loyal Clients, that I'm concerned about.</span></p>
