Movies and TV entertain, educate, and inspire. What you may not have considered is that this content is intended for personal, private use only and requires a license when shown in public. This provision of the U.S. Copyright Act applies to public exhibitions of movies, TV, and other audiovisual content enjoyed from sources like broadcast, cable or satellite television, DVD, Blu-ray, download, or streaming platforms.
MPLC was founded in 1986 with the goal of providing an affordable way for the public to enjoy movies, TV, and other audiovisual content outside of the home with the assurance of copyright compliance. Since the introduction of MPLC’s pioneering Umbrella License®, we have come a long way, now representing more than 1,000 rights holders and licensing in more than 40 countries around the world.
Under the Umbrella License you’ll find a wide variety of movies, TV programs, and other content. MPLC rightsholders include every major Hollywood studio as well as children’s, faith-based, independent, television, special interest, and international producers. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive copyright compliance solution. Rightsholders represented under the Umbrella License vary according to the intended use and facility type. Please contact us for the complete list of rights holders included in your license.
