The link below has information on video license for a church. If you are looking for a license for a different organisation other than a church, I would suggest contacting them and maybe they could point you in the right direction. .

You need to have a "Performance License" the type of license depends on, where, how, why, when, and to what purpose you are showing the movie. See the link below for more information on the copyright act and how you can comply.

You can show a movie on DVD at your house, say, at a party. If you're getting together to see a movie that's not out on DVD, and you pass flyers around your neighborhood or something like that, then the police department will ask for your licence.

Hope that helped!!

Is it against copyright to show a movie at work?

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.


The school wants to show several movies to an audience for fundraising The school is not planning on charging for the initial movie only for concessions Is this legal even with the FBI warning?

The United States Copyright Office states that, "If the movie is for entertainment purposes, you need to get a clearance or license for its performance." See: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html Movie License USA also provides a list of criteria to determine if you need a license to show your movie at a school. See: http://www.movlic.com/k12/faq.html#4 Edit: Um, I'm pretty sure that "entertainment purposes" means going to the movies or a drive in theatre. If "you need to get a clearence or license for its performance", then people would need approval merely to play the movie anywhere. So I think it's okay as long as it is the right age group according to rating.
