The first option, of course, makes it harder for people to earn a living from writing, music, television, etc. There's definitely a tradeoff here. If everyone torrents the next season of #Your Favourite TV Show# then there won't be a next one unless Kickstarter _really_ takes off.

Note: Voting for the third option without offering a solution which is technically feasible in the comments will merely cause giggling.

That the public could hear it is irrelevant. You need a licence from both the PRS and the PPL even if you only broadcast music or radio to your own employees. Even a van driver who owns their own van technically needs one as that van is deemed to be a place of work.
