Common sense and I believe the law dictates that a not for profit, non-commercial group viewing of a purchased copy of anything at a private gathering does not equate to copyright infringement. If it was, anytime you invited a group of friends over to watch a movie/game they will in turn be less likely to buy a copy of that movie/game and you are guilty. If thats the case I'm a Pirate and will continue to be.
