So what about the 'transmissions' which are live-streamed to the 'net by the

any aspect of who or how many people are listening to any of their internet
output anywhere, so that has to constitute transmissions "that anyone can
freely listen to".


They are free for personal use, not for re-broadcasting to other people
via loudspeaker(s).

I am surprised that you cannot see the distinction, which should be
abundantly clear.

The distinction is clear to me. It is also abundantly clear that it is
not sensible.
