Yes. You're "supposed to" have an ASCAP/BMI public performance to play copyrighted music at your dorm party.

see: http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-WIKI/Licensing-&-Royalties/Public-Performance-Royalties-and-Licenses.html I wouldn't bother. It would cost more to enforce the stupid rules. I own a bar in Yonkers, The Haunt and they have never bothered me.
