All these people need to do is create van internet “radio station”, obtain a public performance license from ASCAP, and stream the audio thru the PA system. ASCAP insisted that internet play required the same license as an actual broadcast, so play by their rules, crank it up and all is legal. This is how Rush uses her music despite Chryssie Hinds wishes, except an internet “radio station” is vastly easier to set up than the real kind.

Actually that’s not 100% true about Hynde.
When he first started using the song, she was asked about it, and said, (paraphrase) She wasn’t a fan of Rush, and wasn’t real happy about it, but her parents were, and as long as he was paying ASCAP for the rights, she wasn’t going to interfere with it.
