Oh, actually, yeah. Bands performing music in public. Bars broadcasting 
radio. Even music-on-hold taken off the radio. All kinds of stuff like that.

And the Sony v Betamax suit wasn't won on the grounds that the content was 
broadcast over the air, but that it was fair use. If you started 
distributing those tapes, you'd be in trouble.
