Sandra Burt, 56, works at A&T Food store in Clackmannanshire, UK and likes to sing while stocking shelves.  She was warned by the Performing Right Society (PRS) that she could be fined for doing so.

Mrs Burt, who describes herself as a Rolling Stones fan, said that despite the initial warning from the PRS, she had been unable to stop herself singing at work.

The village store where Mrs Burt works was contacted by the PRS earlier this year to warn them that a licence was needed to play a radio within earshot of customers.

When the shop owner decided to get rid of the radio as a result, Mrs Burt said she began singing as she worked.

She told the BBC news website: “I would start to sing to myself when I was stacking the shelves just to keep me happy because it was very quiet without the radio.

Naturally, all the publicity has forced the PRS to back down, apologize, and send Mrs. Burt a nice bouquet of flowers.  Remember folks, these are the same people/organization that believes you should pay royalties every time your cell phone rings and force YouTube to pay continued extortion money because its users like to upload videos of themselves singing.
