Are you breaking copyright law?

Date published: 05/09/2008

The Performing Rights Society (PRS) is warning thousands of small businesses that they may be breaking copyright law by playing music without a licence.

Any location or premises, outside of home, where music is played from clubs to concert halls, from discos to dentists’ waiting rooms and from trains to takeaways may need a PRS Licence.

PRS Music Licences are tailored according to the size of the business and the way in which music is being played and can cost as little as £66 per year.

Businesses can call 0800 068 48 28 for advice on when they need a PRS music licence or visit:
