Woman who plays music to horses told to get licence

This is absurd. You can't listen the radio at "work"? What if she bought and paid for CD?

It's crap like this that is bringing down the music industry. They want to keep making money off of (someone else's) past work. It's BS and I wish this lady could challenge it in court, or at least the court of public opinion.

I see little difference in these incensing fees and the bonuses paid to the AIG executives, and there should be a similar public outcry over getting paid forever for "owning" a song. Notice I said owner, not writer or performer.. they probably sold it long ago and even if they didn't, how much of this license fee would they actually see? How would this company know WHICH songs were played so the right performers could get the money? It's a scam and should be shutdown!!
