Learn why copyright compliance is important, when a license is necessary,
and how you can secure one for your audience in the video below. 

Who Does Copyright Law Apply To?
Everyone that wants to show a movie in a public venue, regardless of whether admission is charged; whether the institution is commercial or nonprofit; and whether a federal, state or local agency is involved. 

If I Own The Movie, Then Why Do I Need A License?
Because neither the rental nor purchase of a movie, or access through a streaming account, includes the right to exhibit it outside of a home setting. 

Why Is Public Licensing Important?
In addition to being the law, revenue from the licensing fees incentivizes future work and supports a vibrant creative community.
