Well i just couldn't believe it! Today we had an email come round our work that from now the playing of a radio is banned. Something to do with the performing rights society, and infringing copyright laws as more than 5 people can listen to it! Has anyone else had this bombshell dropped on them? I've never heard anything like it.
Let me tell you, it's a whole lot duller without a radio at work. You dont know how much you can miss music at work. Just hope my firm buys the license they require, or no music at work forever!
But this got me thinking, what about the music you hear at say a hairdressers, garage, or a shop. I dont think they have this license. And surely all the radio stations pay the perfoming rights society a tidy sum anyway?
