Stream and show TV programming in your senior center with a license that protects you from hidden copyright risk.
MPLC eliminates the copyright compliance gap that senior living centers didn’t know they have – the unlicensed use of TV, movies and streaming on screens in dining rooms, activity rooms, workout facilities, and staff break areas. MPLC’s one simple license closes that gap and protects senior living communities from this unanticipated legal exposure.
Licensed entertainment helps make your residents more comfortable and improves staff experiences. With an MPLC license, you preserve the valuable content that helps seniors socialize and feel at home, while giving employees a space for downtime.
Under copyright law, when senior living centers and communities show copyrighted content (TV, streaming, videos and film), it’s a public performance that requires a license. The MPLC license protects you from risk.
MPLC removes the unknown copyright risk in the areas around your facility, apartments, or memory care centers. One simple license covers a lot of screens and retroactively resolves unintentional exposure.
Streaming and showing content in areas where people gather is a great way to entertain seniors, their visitors, and staff. With an MPLC license, you ensure 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 senior community or facility is covered.
One simple MPLC blanket license preserves and expands the valued content that improves residents and staff experiences.
Turn on those screens with peace of mind. With the MPLC license, you’re protected from copyright risk.
Many senior living communities and centers 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 facility, this is a public performance under copyright law. An MPLC license helps close the gap, so you are compliant. With a quick application, you can continue showing your residents and staff our rightsholder content with confidence.
Senior living communities, facilities, and nursing homes that do not have a license are subject to fines and damages of up to $150,000 per copyrighted work. This often happens without awareness of the law. 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 senior living US licensees include Westminster Canterbury Richmond Retirement Community, Pine Harbour Assisted Living, Normandie Ridge Senior Living Community, and The Laurels of Norworth.
The MPLC Blanket License is a simple fee. The cost of a license depends on the number of locations and employees you have. You don’t need to tell us which movies you are showing or watching. There is no ongoing reporting or admin paperwork.
