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?
