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!!!
Hmm, as am I. I'm going to need to double check all this but I'm fairly certain it shouldn't affect you; it does depend on the size of your premises and the nature and extent to which the music is used. Plus to pay PRS you need to detail all the songs played which is ludicrous if you are just listening to the radio in work. You can visit Mechanical Copyright Protection Society Home for more details that might help. The idea that your work as told you you can't listen to your radio because of PRS is making my brain hurt
