I take note that Estelle Morris...a failed government minister who stood down from her post with the government saying she could not take the responsibility.
She is now a director of PRS.......another pension perhaps?

intresting question

who needs who the most ?

do the record companys need you tube to help promote bands, much like they use myspace or is it the other way round ?

I used to listen to the uk radio at work, but since last year I am not allowed. "It's only for UK listeners" What kind of mentality do these people have!
I can get around it by going on the Internet to a UK radio site.

hang on a second

we are FORCED into buying a tv licence which funds the bbc

we then have to buy a licence to listen to music in our workplace paid for everybody in teh workplace already via teh tv licence which funds bbc radio 1

other radio stations pay for their broadcasting licence via adverts so these peopel are already getting their money and so is the artist every time a song is played

how many times do we have to pay for 1 product ?

it stinks to high heaven , since when have a bunch of shirts from a poxy music company been in a position to put demands on a govenment and get laws passed to suit themselves and do as they please

It would appear as though the PRS want some of Googles revenues and Google have told them to chew on it.
