Music Licence?

[southcoastboile]

Had a letter through the other day telling me if I use my tv to watch music channels or listen to a radio my business needs a music licence. Anyone know what the score is with that?

This in your own house or an office or shop .

Or are you providing music for public entertainment?
The big question is though, who grassed you up??

 

[southcoastboile]

Its in my own house, yeah I hadn't thought of that!! Im not providing it for entertainment, unless you class that as winding up the grumpy old bloke who annoys the proverbial outa me.
Probably him who stsitched me up wouldnt suprize me in the slightest.

You need a license to play music to the public, you also need to pay royalties if you are performing/playing other peoples music. Sounds like you use your TV for karaoke down the local? Otherwise tell them where to stick their suggestion

I wasnt going to pay it anyway, I could just say it wasn't me playing the music as I dont live by myself. BTW bod if your reading, that was a pik I put on last post not ** sensored it out for sum reason.

I've spotted it a couple of times. one of the smileys has a bad word in it, so the forum stars out the bad word and leaves you with :*****:

No TV liscence at seperate premises , listening to Radio ?

So do you think they do letters to random companies or do you only get 1 if someone complains?
