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.
So do they turn up to those residents around a music festival site or open air concerts and demand money with menaces?
