That guy at the guitar store who picks up a guitar he's thinking about buying and busts out a riff from (insert your favorite metal band here) is technically breaking the law, because he's doing it in public.

Actually, there was a case where the RIAA did intend to force instrument stores to pay royalties if customers played copyrighted material. I'll have to go look for the source later. Kierkegaard is getting tired of me procatinating.
