Looking at this web page it looks real. Welcome to the MCPS-PRS Alliance

This sort of thing really makes me want to go on a killing spree!

i have had to remove radios from my work place or pay 1500per anum for a licence to play music in my office Dave

I really did roll on the floor with laughter!! By the way, record player stylii...kids today wouldn't know what you're talking about!!
Thanks
