This by definition covers anything you do in your home, place of work, or a place that you designate; and which you invite specific individuals not the general public.

So long as you do not receive direct compensation in excess of your costs for this (because it’s perfectly legal to hold a party where the guests chip in to pay for it), there is no cause of action for a copyright enforcement action.

What difference does it make if 60 people huddle around one television or watch 60 separate televisions, are they not still watching the same advertising?
