PRS make me laugh. I get what they're trying to do - ensuring artists get appropriate royalties. But did you know, in short the law says that if you're playing music that another party can hear - for example a shop owner having the radio on that a customer can hear - then that person ought to pay for a licence? So taking that one step further, if you have music on in your car and someone walking past can hear it, technically the PRS guys can take you to court if you do not have a licence for it.
And going on my previous experience with the PRS, it would not surprise me if they tried a test case.
