Our director of education has the following questions and we hope that 
members of this list who better understand the copyright laws can help 
us know what we need to do.  Thanks in advance for your time.

If we are a not-for-profit organization and show a movie to the general 
public as a part of an educational program, are we breaking any 
copyright laws?  We don't charge an entrance fee to the museum or a fee 
for viewing the movie.  What is anyone's experience with this? Do we 
need to approach the copyright holder? Does anyone know the "official" 
rules or legal repercussions on this?
