Hi all
I have been following this post with interest as I know that other local garages have had phone calls. I however, have been left alone until recently. The first letter went in the bin but I decided to read the second. On a previous post someone mentioned that they rang the PRS and was told that section 72 did not apply. If this is the case then why does the second paragraph on the reverse of the letter say "By law under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, if you use copyright music in public (i.e. outside of the home)..........."
As far as I am concerned then if they are asking for money under the 1988 act then all sections DO apply. I am sorry for going over old ground but no one has so far mentioned this paragraph in the letter. I have e mailed them and pointed this out but like others have found I just expect another copy of the same letter.
Regards, Bryan.
