The rules are in US Code Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 110. Easily Google-able. This section is called “Limitations on exclusive rights: exemption of certain performances and displays.”

“(A) except as provided in subparagraph (B), communication of a transmission embodying a performance or display of a work by the public reception of the transmission on a single receiving apparatus of a kind commonly used in private homes, unless—
(i) a direct charge is made to see or hear the transmission; or
(ii) the transmission thus received is further transmitted to the public;”

I’m not a lawyer! But I think what the code means is that it’s okay to have people over to a “private home” to watch the game on a big-screen, as long as you’re not charging them.

What do you think?
