Subject: RE: Heavy Handed PRS
There is a subtle difference here
If music is being played for people attending an event which charges for people to listen to music,pay for music on a CD etc then a proportion of that money going to the artists I can see is fair and correct.
If music is being played for teaching purposes I do not consider that that should be subject to PRS,the children/students are going to learn to dance,the music plays a very small part of their entertainment, most of the evening taken up with dance instruction.
What was the significance of DEC 1st mentioned earlier? Is there some rule change?
