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

Why is that different?

1) the radio stations aren't selling the songs; B) it's done with the permission of the record labels (which usually do the radio edits themselves) and III) deleting foul language is required by federal law.

They are selling them! You can purchase "Radio Disney" versions of pop songs that are the same versions heard on Radio Disney stations with the edits included. Check out song number 4 at this link:
