Those are the main three you can get charged for and they mainly apply to venues - just out of curiosity do you work in a venue, Kitten?
I work in an office! Basically, this email was sent out to everyone saying that if you had a radio on, and it could be heard by anyone else, there was a risk of charges from PRS!

Are you saying that in an office environment it is unlikely we will get charged? As this contradicts the advice that seemingly came from our legal department.

A bit confused!!!
