You'r...Careful with the minimum employee exception. You're treading fairly close to the US homestyle exception (17 USC 110(5)), over which the US was sued in the WTO for violation of TRIPs. I agree with you that charging for playing for horses is quite absurd. But, fixing these little errors may take some international overhauls, not just national ones.<BR/><BR/>Love the idea of the CC only bars. Do let us know if anyone in the UK tries it.<BR/><BR/>(P.S. I believe PRS only handles licenses for musical works rights, not sound recordings, and that sound recording rights licenses are handled by PPL.)goldenrailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257965659017173039noreply@blogger.com
