6 LEGAL IS A LICENSE NECESSARY FOR MY ORGANIZATION TO SCREEN THE FILM TO GROUPS? Yes. All group screenings require a license. Adopted in 1976, the US Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code, establishes that the public performance of copyrighted motion pictures and other audiovisual programs that are legally available and intended for personal, private use only, such as DVDs and other digital formats, whether streamed or downloaded, is illegal without a public performance license. This legal requirement applies equally to for and non-profit organizations, even if no admission fee is charged. It does not matter who plans or conducts the exhibition.
