This is a common misunderstanding.

It is not the act of recording the item that is prohibited. Private use is allowed. What the section in question prohibits is selling the recording you have made.

The section bans commercial use of the recording, it does not ban making a recording that you only use yourself. If you give away the recording, as a gift, that does not amount to commercial use. It is only selling the recording - making a profit from it - that is prohibited.
