    PPL license for the radio - enforceable?

    I see your still at it Paul, muddying the waters and trying to persuade people they will automatically lose. PPL are acting as judge jury and executioner if you let them. Kulture has a very good case, almost identical to our own. We went through our MP, as have others, PPL backed down. I've been...

    PPL license for the radio - enforceable?

    Well done CraigA for fighting the robber barons. It sounds as if you were in the same position as we were. I would advise everyone to do their own research on their particular situation. PPL hide behind vague terms and phrasing and the complexities of copyright, this plus a liberal dose of...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Well it took a while but the letter to my MP did the trick. PPL have pulled off the Oriel hellhounds and withdrawn their erroneous invoices. The CEO's letter sent to my MP made me want to throw up and was designed to show them in a good light. He went on about being sorry we were disappointed...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Just received the following from my local MP. I have not enclosed my original message as it is a bit longwinded and covers a lot of what we have discussed.Even if it goes no where it is bringing PPL unwanted attention from the legislators. "Thank you for your email. I completely agree with...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Thank you Paul, I am trying to develop this in simple steps so my follow on question is this; where does it say "there is a requirement to pay to listen (to Radio) in the course of the business". It's a very simple question so please don't confuse things by going on about music or copyright etc...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Paul please answer the question, where does it say in law or in PPL literature that you must have a licence to listen to the radio in private. You know it doesn't but PPL have assumed the right charge you if you do; and that is not the law. We have been to small claims court before and I fear...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    I have been away from this forum for awhile thinking it had died down but as I am currently writing to my MP about PPL's abuse of position I thought I'd look back in and see its grown. We have now had a final demand from Oriel, I have written back asking why they have not replied to my earlier...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Paul, we clearly live in different worlds. How on earth can you say that if I listen to the BBC4 news and weather, in private, in my lunch hour, it is in the course of my business. You keep implying that I am trying to rip off some poor starving artiste or record manufacturer but you are...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Thanks mac4, I didn't know about the petition but have signed it now. Can I appeal to all small businesses to sign it and try and stop this daylight robbery. We are also banning PPL staff, agents, or associates from our shop and will display sign in the window stating this. Has anyone...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Thanks again. As a newbie I was unaware there was so much already on this subject until the PPL demands came in so apologies to all who are bored. Since your last reply I have been desperately trying to catch up and on reading some of your other posts, plus many others, there is some confusion...

    PPL license for the radio - enforceable?

    we suffered the same way, in reply to a telephone call my wife told them she occasionally listened to the mid day news in her lunch hour by her self when the shop was closed. They demanded a fee plus a fine. She queried this and received a letter saying if she she listened to the radio...

    PPL, are they allowed to use bully tactics now?

    Thanks again Paulgears but I believed the law of the land was that you had to be proved guilty not the other way round. PPL are working on the assumption that you MAY have heard something, intentional or not and therefor you are guilty. A further thought on this, if I phone a company and they...
