From: "akc" <meadow.sweet@xxxxxxxxxx>

Off at a tangent, a guy here in the UK who runs a music shop was on the radio here, last night. He had a call from the Performing Rights Society asking him if purchasers tried out the instruments before buying. When he said "yes", they said, "well you need a licence from us then, if they are playing copyrighted material".

Makes your eyes water.

puhleez! I would tell him to take a hike, good luck policing & collecting on that.

'Performing Rights Society' doesn't sound very official. It sounds home made. I would tell the guy I was from the 'When was the last time you were punched really really hard in the face society' and guage the reaction.
