[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 813084, member: 175057"] Ah, that's another thing altogether, you're speaking of PRS and PPL, they're still sniffing around, had them call me as well, asked if I played the radio at my place of work, told them yes, but wasn't sure that a van came under commercial premises. Here's some crackers though concerning PRS. (via Wikipedia) [I]"n October 2009, the PRS apologised to a 56-year-old shelf-stacker at a village in Clackmannanshire for pursuing her for singing to herself while stacking shelves. PRS initially told her that she would be prosecuted and fined thousands of pounds if she continued to sing without a "live performance" licence. However PRS subsequently acknowledged its mistake[/I]" [I]"In one case it told a 61-year-old mechanic that he would have to pay £150 to play his radio while he worked by himself.
