as far as i know, a license is required for public playing of a radio or any music tothat fact but with the radio, a tv license is sufficient.

I'm thinking whoever this guy was, he's biased.

that website linked to above wrote:The MCPS-PRS Allianceis the home of the world's best songwriters, composers and music publishers.


Just another music publisher wanting more money. I swear sometimes that if they could get away with it, they'd charge each time you listen to MP3s :roll:

No it's not.

I am sure this chap did not describe it as a Radio License either, They come after you in Pubs as well. You shouldn't go into a Pub and listen to the Radio, without asking to see a current valid certificate from the PRS, not allot of people do, but they should you know !

In a pub is different to a workplace where the public don't generally visit, like most offices, surely?
I would have thought in a pub it would come under entertainments licences etc.
