PRS and music copyright in your business
jelyy started this topic @ 19:34 on 05/12/2007
The Performing Rights Society (UK) is currently cracking down hard on UK businesses. The PRS represent the songwriters out there; and right now, with the advent of digital downloading and massive music piracy, those songwriters are suffering. The PRS intend to do something about it.
Do you use music while customers wait on hold? PRS are calling thousands of UK businesses every day to find out if they have proper licenses to use 'music on hold', as it's an easy and inexspensive way to catch fee dodgers. PRS are also sending hundreds of agents out into the streets to track down others like Quik-Fit in the above story.
Do you want to avoid a lot of these PRS headaches? Wouldn't it be so much easier and safer if you could just have your OWN music to play in your business premises. Professional quality music? Well, now you can! We are a company who specialise in making music for exactly that purpose! You simply pay us a one-time fee - as little as £50.00 per unit- and you have our permission to use our music forever! It's that simple.
Our music is used world-wide: on TV, radio, the Web and in business premises, from pubs to clubs, to shops and restaurants. There has never been a better or more important time than today when it comes to taking charge of your bussineses' music.
Come to www.copyfreetrax.com today and either download as many tracks as you wish, and burn them directly to CD - or download a complete CD image file and be up and running with your new copyright-free music in minutes! Sleep easier AND save money today.

Well, PRS is a not for profit organisation so all the money it collects comes back to us (in my case former) musicians - songwriters, publishers, copyists etc. Songwriters for example only get paid when their music gets played. I'm sure your radio station will be a great success - though please let's not lose track of why we have to pay for our music. As you yourself say "the songwriters are suffering". Good on PRS for doing something about it!
Maybe if us musicians were able to earn a better (fair?) wage, I wouldn't be giving up up on my dream, having a change of direction & starting a new business, exciting as it is.
