I can tell you that in Canada, the music rights people are out in bars and nightclubs making sure they are paying for the performance rights on the music they play. Even live bands are required (in theory anyway) to submit payment for the music they perform.
Most people just aren't aware of all of the implications of copyright and what it means.
Remember, every time someone sings happy birthday on the TV, radio, or in a movie, Michael Jackson makes money.
