well then the information in the article doesn't tell the full story.
The writer of the song always gets paid, irrelevant of who they are. To play that song in front of a crowd of 5 or more people requires a license, which includes a portion to be paid to the songwriter. You might "get away with it" in your own home but places like cinemas, bars, clubs etc do not, there is a rigorous enforcement mechanism in place.
