for a store in a shopping centre in the uk
what if i play radio from a web based radio station
do i have to have a PMR licence or a PPL licence (whatever that is, thought it was Private Pilots licence myself)
is it based on the content of the radio or the station itself
or across the web
are there any laws about re-broardcasting
or can i just pipe it thru the store
Answers:
The PRS (Performing Rights Society) got me about a month ago. Apparently it's been law to have a license to play a radio or CD's in a shop where more than 5 people can hear it since 1988 but they've only recently started clamping down on people. I run a water garden centre and have one speaker playing the radio in my shop area - for which i'm paying 拢102 per year. If I had a tanoy system with more than 1 speaker in use then the price would have gone up to about 拢350 for the year.
Yeah, you need a PRS licence for the public performance of copyright music and also a PPL licence for the recording rights. If they catch you playing it without having declared it you'll be charged at a higher rate
If the broadcasting is a free service then i dont think you need a license.
Simple answer is yes. Smarty got there first, lol.
radio comes under TV licences you have to have a TV licence to play a radio as it can pick up BBC radio a service covered by a TV licence Dave
