"I would start to sing to myself when I was stacking the shelves just to keep me happy because it was very quiet without the radio.The Performing Right Society has since offered her an apology and send her a bouquet of flowers--and complimented her singing voice. :)
"When I heard that the PRS said I would be prosecuted for not having a performance licence, I thought it was a joke and started laughing.
"I was then told I could be fined thousands of pounds. But I couldn't stop myself singing.
"They would need to put a plaster over my mouth to get me to stop, I can't help it."
Imagine this happening in the US. Free speech vs. intellectual property rights--I would have once said it would never be an issue, but in these days, who knows?
