    I fully intend to refuse my renewal invoices when they arrive

    I am going to write to them and state that my customers spend less than a minute instore and the music is of no heed to them and adds no benefit to my business

    It is purely for the personal use of my staff.

    They will no doubt get all excitable and send me a standard reply or else, but I'm quite prepared to go legal.

    The precedent is set, if they want to go to war fair enough

    Be very careful here, the cases referred to in the link refer to PPI royalties and not to IMRO royalties.

    I am no expert in this area at all, but my understanding is that PPI royalties are paid by the likes of Dance halls/discos/radio & TV stations. An IMRO licence is required where such music and content is heard/played in a public place or workplace.
    Two completely different licences and regulation.

    It's complex but essentially they all pay IMRO. PPI are a different matter and basically is the industries way of collecting royalties due to labels and their major artists on an international organised level so basically the PPI would be in every country in some format or name.
