Is anyone seriously suggesting that the PRS will listen to all these cybercasts to check out which copywrights are affected. moreover that folk cyberclub organisers are going to furnish them with information of the songs and publishers.

In forty odd years gigging, i only ever once met a PRS employee checking out what I was playing - it was one night at the drill Hall Vaults in Salford. He gave me the form and I could have put down any old shit. The guy didn't have a clue - he'd never heard of Hank Williams, Ewan MacColl, - much less their publishers.

artists coming into contact with the PRS is a bit like the possibility of two ants crossing the same forest meeting each other. It has bigger fish to fry.
