Rich, hate to say it, but if anyone besides you or "the immediate members of your household" view the pay per view, you've broken the law with a 'public viewing'.

Let's just give up. Let the publishers draft 'singers' against their will, force them to perform, and then kill them when finished (less residuals that way). Let's make it so that any use of any word automatically results in a deduction from the offending speaker's bank account to the publisher who first filed claim on that word.
