Desperation

There was a story on BBC Radio2, although I haven't been able to find any websites reporting it. A music shop (Jones Music) in Macclesfield is being sued by The Performance Rights Society for performance rights of customers playing guitars in their shop!! They must force customers to play their own music or buy a performance licence, they have chosen to go to court instead. How desperate is that.... I was humming a Doors song this morning, I expect to get a bill from EMI in the morning.
