There was an item on the radio here yesterday about the Performing Rights Society (UK) writing to people saying they need to buy a licence if they play music in the office. Apparently you need a licence to play music anywhere outside your domestic environs.

"Who has to have a PRS music licence? Any location or premises, outside of home, where music is played..."
"whether the performance is played live or by such means as CD, radio, DVD, TV, karaoke etc, whether a charge is made for admission, or whether the performers are paid, a PRS Music Licence is still necessary."
People have been listening to radio music in the workplace for decades - now they're being told they've got to pay for the privilege and they're not happy about it.
Some people will turn their radios off; but I imagine most will just carry on listening and become 'criminals'.
