Presumably because they hadn't paid for a licence to publicly broadcast

the music.
Just because something is done by a charity or not-for-profit

organisation doesn't mean that the law doesn't apply to them. It makes

perfect sense to me -- if TV or radio have to pay royalties when

broadcasting, it seems only fair that other public broadcasters (whether

over the airwaves or via a public address system) do the same.
