Remember when the PRS were after Kwik Fit for playing a radio too loud? Well this is along similar lines.

According to a report, the PRS are at it again. The staff at a charity also received a visit from a PRS officer who declared that because a staff radio in the kitchen could be overheard by the public in their tea-room, they would need a license.

However, having purchased a license, this wasn’t the end of the matter. The PRS then started asking more questions, and when they discovered that kids sing in a carol concert there at Christmas, they declared that the premises were under licensed. Yes, of course - the PRS wanted yet more money.

Radio waves are freely available to pick up everywhere. The radio stations pay their fees to the PRS for playing the songs publicly. That to me implies the PRS have no right to force people to buy a license. Money grabbing bastards.
