The definition for "Public Performance" is "using the Software to take
any action that implicates the rights of public performance or public
display of a work under copyright law."  Query how this plays out under
EU law specifically. I hope EU readers more knowledgeable than me chime
in, but I don't read any equivalent right under EU law, so I don't know
what an EU court would do with it. Ignore it because there is no such
thing in the EU? Consider it equivalent to distribution?
