It seems that on quiet days the Performing Right Society walks the earth looking for infringements, recently some garages and a book shop near me were rousted as the customers could hear the employees radio and that counted as a performance that needed to be payed for.

I don't understand their determination to stop people listening to the radio..one of the ways people hear music and think "hmm I might buy that".
How many companies do you know that would fork out nearly £900 a year so that 16 employees can listen to radio for 4 hours a day for 250 days a year!
I reckon that if you worked from home they would still try and scalp you for the £66 charge for "For premises where music is
audible to 4 or fewer workers"

I'm curious aren't radio stations already paying to broadcast the music?
