Music Organization Sues Firm for Employees Listening to Their Radios

Well, the US of A isn't the only nation in the world with tyrannical parasitic entities suing people over how they listen to music.

Today's FamilyFirst pick is a BBC article about a lawsuit filed by the PRS (Performing Rights Society), which is the British version of the RIAA.

Get this: They are suing a car repair firm known as Kwik-Fit because their employees listen to their radios at work.

You read that right. Employees are listening to radio stations which have paid for the right to broadcast music. But the PRS claims that customers and others might overhear the music and thus screw the artists out of royalties.

Of course, the artists would never see the royalties, but the PRS would.

The Edinburgh-based firm's defense is that they have had a ban on personal radios for the last ten years.

Reality check: THE LAWSUIT IS STUPID. A judge with a brain the size of a walnut or larger would throw this one out, and perhaps lay down a frivolous lawsuit penalty.

Unfortunately, such a judge evidently was not available, and the lawsuit rolls on.

Oh well. Bad behavior like this will eventually turn a majority of the common public against utterly worthless organizations like the MPAA, the RIAA, and the PRS. I can't wait.
