The theory is sound actually...
Reminds me of a case in the UK a couple years ago where PRS tried to sue Arnold Clark (a chain of mechanics) for having the radio on so loud in the workshops that they could be heard in public. Therefore constituting a public performance of the music.
Cant see it getting anywhere however.
I think this further illustrates that Legal doesnt always mean Right and Illegal doesnt always mean Wrong.
