I was shocked until I realised it was phonographic not pornagraphic

had to check my spelling then ,i think the latter would be much better !

Iv looked at the web site and to be honest i cant make head nor tail of it ,but i was talking to some one who said that it is all changing in april and you have to get a licence to play music in public ,not sure if it means the place 'like it use to be' or the person ,but he works in a large office and they have the radio on ,they want a loads so the firm he works for have said that is the end of music at work !

just to let you know that any shop office etc. will have to pay if any music played -be it radio or whatever! local charity shop warned last week to not play music without a licence or pay up same as pubs do for public performance licence,suppose every body has to wear earphones to get round it!

You have to have a license to play music in public now. You should also by rights have to have the same for workplace as far as I was aware. When I worked in a factory 10 years or so ago they banned radios etc cause they wouldn't pay for a license. Think you had to have one then when you had over a certain number of emloyees. Have things changed since then?

from april i was told you will have to pay 2 lots i know you have had to pay in the past but from what i was told it is going to cost loads ! now im not sure at all if this will affect soul nights i would think it depends where you put them on if it is up to you to pay or the place you are putting it on ,

My Daughter owns a business where she plays background / instrumental music , and has been sent a letter from the council , informing her that she has to / must have a licence for doing so , and the licence could be back dated to when she opened a year ago .

The venue it self will have to take out a licence, as they do now, can't see that changing. Sounds like they are clamping down on places of work.

When my eldest son and his fiancee booked the room for his wedding reception later this year Chalks , he was told by the hotel management , that they would only allow entertainment to be provided by a DJ that had full and up to date PR and public liability certification .

no its not changed you have to have a license to play any kind of music in public,the more people you have in the work place the more the license costs ;its worked out by number of people times the amount of hrs the music is played,hope this helps

Venues pay for a PRS license to play music. Promoters don't. If you DJ with vinyl or official CDs you don't need a license. BUt

If you are copying, burning or transferring their work from your vinyl, CD, MP3 or CD+G collection onto a digital format such as an MP3 player, flash drive or laptop for use in your professional or semi-professional working life, you will need to purchase a ProDub Licence

i really should post up information about this. I buy music week every week and there is information always about things in music industry. Just be a lot to type up

But it's always been you pay for music to be played in any public place. Pretty much pubs and clubs etc would have a licence anyway so that should be no problem when you go there to do a disco night or whatever it will be
