It works the same way in Germany. If you're playing music in essentially any venue, even just on the radio, you pay a royalties fee. For places that do it everyday there is usually a flat yearly fee. At least here, a good chunk of that money does indeed fund other cultural endeavors.
Not if it's a closed party for invited guests only such as a wedding.
Apparently it is not quite that simple.

Yes I've heard that argument too. A bit annoying
