I wonder if having the radio on in areas that "could" be heard by the general public is teh issue?
By that I mean having a radio on in the customer reception or loud enough to hear out side.
Say if there was a radio in a workshop, in which the public had no access. Then the broadcast is not public?![Ponder2](images/smilies/ponder2.gif)

You can all go round to your house and watch it .. ( I assume there must be a limit there too )

Its all to do with screwing money out of companies. You could take a radio into a nearby park and listen with all of your mates and thats ok.
But in the workplace, regardless of whether a member of public could hear it, you cant have more than one pair of ears listening to it.
They know that gaining money from companies in this way is enforcable and is another tax on us all.

Had a visit today at work ... they have now banded us from having the radio / cd's on due to it is public broadcasting
It's all to do with the artisits not selling enough albums ... so what they are thinking is if one person buys a album then the others at the workplace don't have to buy it ..... so they are losing out
surely if we can't listen to the radio we can't hear music we would like to buy
Oh.... we can listen to it but it will cost the company £700 a year !
tossers
anyone else had this yet?

When you buy a DVD, or CD for that matter, you buy it on the agreement that it is not for public performance without prior consent - And you get told prior to the film starting.
When you listen to the radio, you do not get told every 10 mins "This broadcast is not for public performance".. Why? Because that would be utterly mental; A public broadcaster telling its listeners its broadcast is not for public performance.
Radio broadcasters *do* have permission for public broadcast. You can tell this by the way they boradcast to the public.
Any attempt to stop you playing a radio (not CD's) at work has got to be up for challenge.

How does this affect passengers in your car or other people in your own home? Also, where you listening to any off the BBC stations? If so do you own a telly? Then you must pay a TV license which allows you to also listen to BBC radio too. I bet most people pay in, so why can’t you choose whose radio you want to listen to?

fwiw some of the carwash lads were told that the radio was fine and cds were bad, and some of them were told that cd`s were fine, and the radio was bad
the radio at our place is not even mine, it belongs to a lad that left about 2 years ago and never came back for it![Cuckoo](images/smilies/cuckoo.gif)
one of my mates actually threw his radio in the skip outside when he was getting hassled

No music at work. Sounds like f*cking heaven to me! Sick of listening to my mates commercial radio w@nk day in day out, one day I swear I'm going to smash it over his f*cking head. Afaik the broadcasting license is needed when the general public can walk into the building and listen i.e a shop or a waiting room (This applies to radio aswell). Its not needed for a workshop e.t.c although the radio should be turned off if the general public then enter the building i.e visitors.
They will be taxing the steam off your p*ss before long

I seem to recall hearing that artists get 9p each time their song is played on the radio, so they're getting their royalties from the service provider on behalf of the end user, surely. 9p might not seem like much, but when you flick through 20 stations and every single one of them is playing Robbie Bleedin' Williams at the same time, all fecking day long it would mount up. I'm sure if I were in a band I would negotiate a deal where I offered the radio stations a penny back each time, sort of 'you scratch my back'

Just tune the radio into some crappy R&B/rap/euro pop/trance station.
I then challenge them to try and "tax" that, as its not what I would call music

All our local shops now display there performing rights paperwork in the
windows like bloody tax discs.
Prehaps if the industry hadn't been so greedy, and addressed the issue long
ago, they would be in the state they are now.
Funny i thought home taping killed the music industry![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

The radio is broadcast for personal use and the radio stations pay royalties.
Playing the radio, or CD, in a workplace is regarded as public, as it is to multiple people.
Whilst it may seem a little totalitarian, the music doesn't belong to you it belongs to the person that wrote it or licensed it.
I am sure none of the posters here would be too pleased if when you stopped at a junction someone jumped in your car and say, hey mate, it's alright you are going my way anyway!
So why should you get a free ride on their music, as I am sure you wouldn't randomly give members of the public free rides in your car or free meals in your kitchen.

Different if we talk about CDs, but the radio.

Granted I haven't read the whole thread, but it seems ridiculous that you can't have the radio on at work. You may have a handful of people working there and you can't listen to it. You could have the same amount of people come to your house and do the same thing, and I doubt anyone would end up chasing you for that. (It's more difficult to do so, but the priciple is the same).
Seems like just another money maker.
