What about when a song that has a bad word in it gets bleeped when played on the radio?

Why is that different?

Because the artist approves the bleep of their song, otherwise it would not get played on the radio and they would not get their royalty. It's probably part of the standard BMI language.

So if these companies only sold versions of movies that have already been on network TV or on airlines with "approved" cuts then it would be OK?
