Actually I do agree with you Dave, my criticism was directed at the initial suggestion that the PRS was "feathering its own nest" rather than protecting the interests of composers/muscians and were using strong arm tactics to enforce this.

Personally I would rather prefer to just slap fines on the shops, lifts etc that daily assault the ears with the worst kind of muzak and reserve a special place in hell for those folks who make the music tapes for "hold the line" telephone calls! :)
