"...send someone to jail because they played a couple seconds of a song, in a public street, on their phone."

No one is saying this. You are leaving out a lot of crucial details that have been brought up.

Call it whatever you want, I am talking about any form of major copyright consequence on that person, because they played a couple seconds of a song, in the street.

Its just not going to happen. No judge will ever cause any significant consequence on someone doing that, solely as a result of a copyright issue.
