The Latest

Here's the latest in the music middle-man industry's war on, well, music. This is almost too strange to believe.

"A car repair firm has been taken to court accused of infringing musical copyright because its employees listen to radios at work."

"The PRS claimed that Kwik-Fit mechanics routinely use personal radios while working at service centres across the UK and that music, protected by copyright, could be heard by colleagues and customers.

"It is maintained that amounts to the "playing" or "performance" of the music in public and renders the firm guilty of infringing copyright."
