Actually, this is not quite the truth.  While you may use the copyrighted
music, you are still subject to paying the licensing fees to ASCAP/BMI/SESAC
and the like.  Most college radio people are ignorant of this fact because
the college station is usually covered in a campus wide contract that includes
playing records at campus social events, concerts, etc...It was also decided
about five years ago that even AM carrier current fell under this category
(you can see why this is, since playing the music over the PA system in student
union is also subject).
