Microsoft uses that EULA to mention a lot of other rights reserved by
copyright law, like how many copies you can make, or whether your
license to distribute "Media Elements" is transferable. Those
examples are just from skimming the first page; a "public performance"
ban in the EULA does not mean that public performance is not also
protected by copyright law.
