Same thing in Canada...last year it was dentists they went after, this year, it's the hair dressers. Radio stations already pay to play tunes. Technically, in offices where the radios are piped in to different workspaces, it is rebroadcasting. And this is what SOCAN wants those folks to pay for. However, I believe it's not rebroadcasting for a profit so I think it shouldn't apply.
