the other half has just said she has paid her ppl fee. hadnt a clue what she was on about,then she explained that she has to pay to listen to the radio or cds at work!( she owns a hairdressers)
wtf!! did we lose a war?!!!

i know artists get royalties but i never knew this is how they got them, i just thought it was from record sales,dvds that sort of thing.
so every single business that has music playing for the enjoyment of customers has to pay this fee. unbelievable!

Indeed, playing music/radio in a 'public place' (defined by how many people are in there), needs a licence. Pubs, clubs, coffee shops, retail stores, offices, factories etc etc all have to pay it.
