The reocrd companies are running scared from P2P and its just funny watching them desperately milk every last penny out of a model that doesnt work anymore.

I know pubs that dont have said licence!

What utter garbage. BTW you can now be suied if you sell your Ichav/MP3 player without wiping it!

If the music is being broadcast by the BBC or any other radio station. Surely the Broadcaster will have already paid the The Performing Rights Society for the privilege.
I'd tell them to **** off... :wink:

Visit your local car boot/ sunday market where i'm sure you'll find someone selling DVD's containing the top 100 albums in mp3 format.

Post by: the loon on February 15, 2006, 00:56:55: slightly different but still good for a laugth

I used to work for a national construction company (no names mentioned) who where fined due to noise polution.
The noise in question you ask....
Diggers :?:
Drills :?:
lorries entering/leaving sight :?:

no none of the above :!:

They where fined by a local council as the workmen on the sight started doing the day-oh line from the banana song.(You know the one
think it was sung by harry belafonty and its the song that was used in the film bettleguise when the family all start dancing at the dinnner party)

The tower crain driver would shout day-oh and the workers would shout day-oh back.
The company was warned by local council (who they had the contract to build these big block of offices for)that this put them in breach of noise control regulations then they fined them.

:-k

strange but true

When are they going to ban the playing of the music at home just incase someone else hears it.
My mates Workshop has a largish stereo and so it can be heard outside with the doors shut. Does that count as public broadcasting? What ever next? :roll: ](*,)

Praps we should all keep an eye out for the music police 8-[

Now knowing you as a good buisness man I am sure you would not forget to add the cost of the ear plugs to the final bill listed under "required safety equipment". :wink: :lol:

Post by: robbie on February 15, 2006, 12:18:40: Now then, heres a different slant on that.... All of the chavs that ride round with their windows down playing the c**p music really loud, could we get them done for this breach??

Surely if they are on the road, they are in a public place :D
