Content Licensing Simplified
Why You Need a Public Performance License.
If you run a business of any kind like a restaurant, gym, hotel, car dealership, or thousands of others, you probably want to know how you can legally show movies or TV shows. That’s because content has become crucial to today’s business. In fact, most people have come to expect it whenever they visit.
But you may not be aware, copyrighted content requires a license. That includes movies, TV shows, news, and more. And most importantly, it doesn’t even matter which source it comes from.
That means that even if you’re just playing content directly from physical media like a CD or Blu-ray, you’re still opening yourself up to copyright infringement. And, even if you already pay for a streaming service or broadcast cable, you most likely still need a public performance license. Why?
Copyright Compliance for Content
The Copyright Act (17 U.S. Code §§ 101, et seq.) protects intellectual property (IP) to ensure that the creators are properly compensated. And that’s not just big producers, but small, independent ones as well. Many producers have gone to court to protect their IP and secure compensation.
