The "Kinko's" case is the one I actually looked at in school:

That's cool. Here, I think it goes to the same group that charges fees for
playing music on the radio. There's a law here that says you can play any
music you want for $X/play, and that music goes to some specific company
that then redistributes it to the copyright holders. That way, each radio
station doesn't have to set up a deal with each music studio.
