Would they be protected under fair usage?

Even if you would, playing a radio in a shop and broadcasting to a couple of
hundred people who walk though is not by any stretch of the imagination,
"fair usage".


Sorry I was applying fair usage primarily to music quizzes in pubs.


This would not be counted as "fair use".


I'm struggling to find a source either way, do you have anything specific?
