yog writes "An assistant at a grocery store in Clackmannanshire,
Scotland, was ordered by the Performing Right Society (PRS) to obtain a
performer's license and to [0]pay royalties because she was informally
singing popular songs while stocking groceries. The PRS later backed down
and apologized. This after the same store had turned off the radio after
a warning from the PRS. We have entered an era where music is no longer
an art for all to enjoy, but rather a form of private property that must
be regulated and taxed like alcohol. 'Music to the ears' has become
'dollars in the bank'."
