Sorry, but the PRS/PPL are just a bunch of 'jobsworth fleece yer money
agents'. Come the revolution they'll be second up against the wall
(first will be Ofcom of course).

I don't want to be up against the wall with PRS/PPL(!)

Don't worry Peter, you'll be safe.

but a radio
station's audience size does not include the additional listeners beyond
individuals and families.

I'm not sure how the payment calculations are made, but I think
potential audience has a weighting, so for instance the difference that
Radio 2 and 3 would pay for the same piece of music would not differ
'pro rata' in terms of their actual audience figures ?

In any case, how do you prove one way or another that those being
'performed to' in a work place or shop are not listeners to the same
radio station anyway ?
