I'm not sure how you manage to confuse "playing audio in a limited physical

Simple. It depends whether other people can hear it, or not.

There's absolutely no confusion, except in the minds of people who
refuse to accept the principle of paying for copyright material.

But the PRS is claiming for the performing rights - not the copyright.


In nearly all cases, both the performance and the song are copyright.
You often find a CD has a C in a circle for the copyright of the song
and a P in a circle for the copyright of the performance, often with a
different year on each.
