HAULIERS THAT play music In staff rooms and public areas are being warned they may have to pay for licences in order to do so legally.
A warning from the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF) told its members that several organisations protecting the copyright of musicians are pursuing anybody who !okays music in public, The RMIF says many firms will be faced with organisations that try to enforce copyright, Sue Robinson, RMIF director, says: "Despite the fact the law requires businesses that play music in a public area to obtain a licence, there's no single body that enforces that. Instead, there are a number or groups that represent, musicians authors, producers, performers etc."
Also, some bands, including the Rolling Stores (above), issue licences themselves for their own music.
The RMIF is taking advice, but says anybody not wishing to pay for multiple licences shouldn't play music at work
