Did anyone in the UK see this?
BBC NEWS | Scotland | Edinburgh, East and Fife | Kwik-Fit sued over staff radios
..where a garage are being sued by the PRS such that "music, protected by copyright, could be heard by colleagues and customers.
It is maintained that amounts to the "playing" or "performance" of the music in public and renders the firm guilty of infringing copyright."
Now, I love the PRS in principle - 60% of my income comes through them and their hard work, but for f**k's sake...
