When some CD or other recorded media gets lent to an indefinite
number of others to dub for themselves, which does happen and a LOT,
or when multiple dubs result from one single dubbed source,which also
happens a LOT, I then think the line "for private use" has been
stepped way over. :-)

You again make a very good point, Thanx for that.
But, I still do not see how a place's profits are verifiably
"increased" for them featuring recordings, or cover tunes being
played live, and why they should be "billed" for doing so?
