UK Company sued for copyright infringement for allowing employees to listen to radios

From WFMU's Beware of the Blog:

And now, amazingly, the Kwik-Fit car repair company is being sued by the PRS for £200,000 in damages for unlicensed "public performances" of copyrighted music. Their crime? Allowing mechanics to play their music so loudly over the din of machinery in the garage that both customers and colleagues could hear it. According to the BBC:

"The allegations are of a widespread and consistent picture emerging over many years whereby routine copyright infringement in the workplace was, or inferentially must have been, known to and 'authorized' or 'permitted' by local and central management."
