You're right, I should have qualified that this is a limited use. But the limit is, in practice, quite fluid. They won't make a lawsuit over a slumber party. Probably not for a meetup. I expect they will for a theatre. Will they for a dive bar with a bunch of old CD's and DVD's? Or for a funeral?
The selective enforcement exposes to me that it doesn't really have a ethical leg to stand on.

Not sure where you live but yeah they do, in France they even asked a school to pay for the kids singing a song, they make hairdressers pay, they absolutely would ask a funeral to pay.
The limit isn’t fluid. If you’re operating a business, you can’t use music to make money. Slumber party? Fine. Charging people to sleep at your house? Not fine.
