I'm quite certain the PROs couldn't do anything about that, and in fact would get into trouble if they tried. BUT they may at some point send some dude to secretly tape performances or otherwise log playlists, and if the policy ever got violated slam the place with all they got.

Same with CDs, if they had a bunch of local artists with legitimate CDs selling their CDs visibl in the place (like at starbucks) they can pipe that in and get around the license. But no other CDs, no radio.
