Our Boss has told our drivers they're not allowed to listen to it in their cabs.....but how can anyone stop you...??

The mind boggles...!!

The letter was from 'The Performaning Right Society'

Is Against the law...................!!!!!




Had a Memo round the office today....a paragraph or two below from it.


"If your customers or employees are listening to copyright music on your premises, by law you must ensure you hold the necessary permission. This includes music played by any means, including, live performances, CD, Radio, Tv, on telephone systems, Internet plus many more"

"This is because when a song or piece of music is written, the person who wrote it owns the copyright and therefore has the right to decide how and when it should be played"

Basically what it means is to listen to music at work the boss needs a licence......

Has anyone else heard this pathectic 'Rule'...??

As if Songwriters n singers NEED the extra money generated from us paying to listen to their music.....why write it in the first place if we have to have permission to listen to it....

How come we're allowed to listen in our cars.....or will we need a licence for that too...??

:o)
