Bar Sued for Playing Songs Without Paying Licensing Fees

I never knew this was required.

Apparently paying for the CD isn't enough! If you play the CD publicly you have to pay an EXTRA fee. I wonder if I can still play CD's while someone else is in my car? If you SING the song, you have to pay an EXTRA fee. I wonder how many high-school garage bands are in violation of this!! And my daughter runs around the house singing kid songs all the time. If she sings to another kid and entertains them using someone's copyrighted material, am I going to get sued?

The sheer greed of these people, who want to get continuously paid for work they did years ago astonishes me.
