Quoted from Craig:So, how do pinball manufacturers get away with having original songs on pins that are played in public places?
The truth is the recording industry (not the artists creating the content, who still get screwed regularly to this day) only has so many thugs they can send out to shake down every restaurant and arcade. It's kind of similar to how they go after file sharers and pirates, going after the bigger servers and companies.
I worked in a music store where we played various Pandora stations all day, and I brought in music DVDs regularly to play on monitors. No one got in trouble for it...
