Thread Name: PRS refuse to talk on Radio4 Feedback!
Subject: RE: PRS refuse to talk on Radio4 Feedback!
AS I understand it, the PRS require a licence fee so that they can pass the money on to the artists/composers of the music in question. What was not explained in their reply was how this could be achieved in the case in question - it was a man who worked alone in a laboratory, listening to a radio.
Can anyone explain how the PRS would know what he had listened to and how much should be paid to the musicians? I believe that if the workplace was actually broadcasting the music, they're required to keep a list and pass it to the PRS, but how on earth could they do this for a number of employees listening to separate radios?
