YouTube versus the Performing Right Society

Most people in the UK have, I think, heard the stories of the PRS demanding money with menaces from small businesses. Garages, hairdressers and workshops for example.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of this particular spat, many people's perception of the PRS is of a vicious, thuggish bully of an organisation, ruthlessly pursuing the small guy for protection money. PR wise, they have shot themselves in the foot.

Even if they have right on their side, I am pre-inclined to side against them versus almost anybody else. A poor state of affairs they have created for themselves and the innocent workers they are paid to represent.

Well done to the management, have a bonus lads.
