Yes it is because it is a public viewing, you need the written permission of the studio that produced it, or buy a license for public viewing from the studio itself (But that costs quite a lot)
As opposed to the original contributor's answer above, it depends on who can view the movie. A "public viewing" is one that is open to the public. However, if you show a movie at work and those in attendance are all employees, it is then a "PRIVATE" screening/viewing of the film.

What should you do if you have reason to believe that someone maybe copyrighting?
Do you mean "violating a copyright"?A copyright is the right of the owner of a work to reproduce and publish (copy) that work. It is a legal claim to ownership. It asks for the law's protection of the work against theft, piracy, and plagiarism. It may be the author (originator) of the work or it may be the publisher who claims copyright protection.Every book that is published has a copyright notice, often indicated by a little c in a circle. Other creative works--films, musical compositions, software, and other kinds of "intellectual property"--have a statement of copyright on them somewhere if the owner wants to protect them.A copyright notice is kind of like a fence around your property. The fence may not do much to actually keep people out. But it does tell them where the boundaries are, and it tells them that the property owner (you) want to keep trespassers out. They can't climb your fence and walk on your land without knowing that they are trespassing.If someone takes possession of (steals) work that is owned by someone else and tries to reproduce it or sell it, that is a violation of copyright. That is illegal.You should tell someone important...

Is Berta the housekeeper in Two and Half Men still in the show?
Who cares. Why is this show still in production? Nothing against the remaining actors from the original cast, or Ashton Kutcher (he was great in "That 70's Show") but in my opinion, this show, by no ones fault, just doesn't work any longer.
