Stream and show TV programming in reception, consultation, treatment, and breakrooms with a license that protects you from hidden copyright risk.
MPLC eliminates the copyright compliance gap that dentists, orthodontists, and endodontists didn’t know they have – the unlicensed use of TV, movies and streaming on screens in reception, consultation, treatment, and breakrooms. MPLC’s one simple license closes that gap and protects from this unanticipated legal exposure.
Licensed entertainment helps distract and relax patients and care givers, making waiting for dental work more comfortable. With an MPLC license, you preserve the valuable content that helps patients feel more at home.
MPLC works with leading dental associations ADA, AAO and AAPD to help educate businesses about copyright and the importance of compliance.
Under copyright law, when dental, orthodontist, and endodontic practices show copyrighted content (streaming, TV, film and videos), it’s a public performance that requires a license. The MPLC license protects you from risk.
MPLC removes the unknown copyright risk from every screen in your practice. One simple license covers your screens and retroactively resolves unintentional exposure.
Using video content is a great way to relax and calm patients and help staff relax. With MPLC’s license, you’re doing it legally.
An MPLC License is an easy, smart investment. Licensing is simple and the coverage is comprehensive.
It only takes five minutes to apply. One license and your practice is fully covered.
One simple MPLC Blanket License preserves and expands the valued content that calms patients and entertains staff.
Turn on those screens with peace of mind. With the MPLC license, you’re protected from copyright risk.
Many operations and facility teams are not aware that there can be a gap between accessing content and having permission to show it in a commercial setting. If TV, movies, or streaming content are shown anywhere in your practice, reception, offices, or treatment rooms, this is a public performance under copyright law. An MPLC license helps close the gap between access and display so you are compliant with the law. With a quick application, you can continue showing your patients and staff our rightsholder content with confidence, and this may bring in new patients.
If practices do not obtain a license, they might have to pay fines and damages up to $150,000 per work. Practices are often unaware of this risk. An MPLC license removes that uncertainty and provides reassurance that your use of content is appropriately covered.
The MPLC Blanket License provides a simple, all-in-one solution. It covers a wide range of content from thousands of rightsholders, so you don’t have to track usage or manage permissions screen by screen, making compliance straightforward.
Yes. Just as ASCAP and BMI cover music use in public settings, MPLC covers TV, films, and streaming content.

MPLC’s US licensees include Dogwood Dental, All Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, Dunn Orthodontics, Cascade Endodontic Group, and Tigertown Family Dentistry. MPLC also works with the ADA and the AAO to help their members continue to publicly show TV, news, and film content (legally) at their premises.
