Care to elaborate? (I gather that you're after that mysterious "ASP
loophole"...)

Public performance? Reading code aloud to public? My, what a show.

To “perform” a work, under the definition in section 101, includes 
reading a literary work aloud, singing or playing music, dancing a 
ballet or other choreographic work, and acting out a dramatic work 
or pantomime. A performance may be accomplished “either directly 
or by means of any device or process,” including all kinds of 
equipment for reproducing or amplifying sounds or visual images, 
any sort of transmitting apparatus, any type of electronic 
retrieval system, and any other techniques and systems not yet in 
use or even invented.
