As soon as I heard that song, I knew that this would be the next headline.

Yep, me too. Funny how they SELL records and then say people cannot PLAY the song. The way I figure it, if I buy it I have the right to play it as loud as I want.

Exactly how I see it. I cannot believe this is allowed.

You do, generally. But that right does not extend to playing it as part of a public performance. If you go to a sporting event, all of the songs they play during breaks are only allowed because of a license fee paid by the venue. It's the same when it comes to something like a political convention.
