I thought the article spelled it out pretty clearly...

Bourkes Bar and its licence holder, Lorcan Bourke, were granted a music licence by IMRO in March 2011, which permits the playing of (live and recorded) music at the premises.

During the court proceedings, Judge Carroll Moran was told the licence was revoked on May 1, last for alleged non payment of royalties and breaches of the Copyright Act.

Probably best not to discuss an on-going case here though.

I would advise talking to Bourkes about this as that report is not the full story, theres a bigger picture.
