Correct. I was addressing the commenter saying that uploading them legally and streaming to many is no different than a bar. My whole point was that a bar licenses the music. Purchasing music under a personal license doesn't allow one to broadcast or perform the work, so the justification is off. And it's actually considered the same thing for web streaming — it doesn't have all that much to do with copies. By law webcasting falls under a performance so webcasters are on the hook for both publishing and performance royalties. (Radio gets a waiver on performance royalties and only pays publishing. So the composers get paid, but not necessarily the performers.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_radio#US_royalty_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_radio#US_royalty_contr...
