What's bewildering?

Published does not mean uncopyrightable. A radio station broadcasts a song; that doesn't remove the song's copyright protection. Receiving a copy is not making a copy.

3Taps settled put of court; there was no decision.

I'm not sure the radiostation analogy holds. Radiostations can't claim copyright to the song.
