The Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR) has welcomed Government plans to tighten up the conduct of copyright collection firms that would include PPL and PRS.

The Government plans to clampdown on firms such as PPL and PRS, with a planned statutory code next Spring if they fail to clean up their act.

The proposal came this week in the Government's response to the Hargreaves review of Intellectual Property and Growth.

John King comments:
If the GOvt wants to act on misleading claims from PRS, then they should take a hard look at the same claims being made by civil servants at DCMS/LGA/LGR.
