do they not need permission to play music during public/televised events?

I think they do but they generally don't care and what's done is done seems to be the mentality.

I think it's more of a thing where artists hold creative rights to their stuff and can disallow use where they see fit, such as here where the organization is trying to blue-collar their way out of being Nazi fascists.
