It's Portuguese, and it says almost exactly what Shaw said. Literally, it says "It's openly forbidden to play the track 'Panamericano' (any remix or portion).

Pro Tip: If you can't find the words "el" or "la" in a text but it looks like Spanish with tildes on vowels and cedillas everywhere, it's Portuguese.
I understand about the words looking and sounding the same but with slightly different meanings. I dated a Puerto Rican girl from San Juan while she was her in the Army, and the Tex-Mex slang and even the correct Spanish meant different things to her, I remember once she felt insulted because someone said something that in her language was not what the say'er meant. (is Say'er a word?)

No, no, Portuguese and Spanish are really different languages. I had to study Spanish in school!

Puerto Rican and Spanish are more similar.

But some words mean different things in each language, there are only a few of them from what I gathered and then the slang of each language is where I would say the most differences are at.

Oh. But yeah, the changes between Spanish and Portuguese are much more significant, actually.

I showed up, the ceremony went swimmingly well, the groom and the bride exchanged vows, I died a little inside when they started playing La Marseillaise and it turned out to be a Beatles song, and... yea, that's pretty much it.
