  if a song is streamed from the cloud

  on BMI Says A Single Person Listening To His Own Music Via The Cloud Is A Public Performance

  Extract from the ICPO-INTERPOL Constitution and General Regulations:
  
  It is strictly forbidden for the Organization to undertake any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.
