Before long they would lose total control of the copy right and every church and corner bar would be having their own Super Bowl Bashes.
But would that be so horrible? Would it be a bad thing if every church and corner bar had their own Super Bowl bash? Obviously the sponsors will be happier with more viewers, so we're not talking about anybody's life made worse here. And what exactly is the meaning of limiting the size of the television and outlawing projectors? That is plain ridiculous.

You are right that the NFL has the rights to this broadcast, and they made the decision to send that broadcast out to everyone. Specifying which televisions people are allowed to use to view that broadcast and who they're allowed to view it with is total nonsense: just because you've got the rights on a broadcast shouldn't mean you can decide the intricate details of how it is allowed to be viewed. It is their choice to broadcast it to everyone.
