An assistant at a grocery store in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, was ordered by the Performing Right Society (PRS) to obtain a performer's license and to pay royalties because she was informally singing popular songs while stocking groceries. The PRS later backed down and apologized. This after the same store had turned off the radio after a warning from the PRS. We have entered an era where music is no longer an art for all to enjoy, but rather a form of private property that must be regulated and taxed like alcohol. "Music to the ears" has become 'dollars in the bank

The Music industry is an oligopily filled with crypto-facist. Things will change though. As a matter of fact maybe we should only play music by independent artist that will teach the music industry a lesson. Then we really wont have to play "their" radio.

It's not so much the artist as the company.
