I read recently that the new chief exec of PRS is on a six-figure salary and his board are also high-earners. In order to sustain these salaries, the PRS has started pursuing everyone they can bully into buying one of their licences. They even threatened a self-employed chap who worked from home, on the grounds that if his wife entered his home-office with a cup of coffee she would hear his radio thus making this a public performance! Needless to say the PRS backed down when he offered to see them in court.
