Content is crucial in today’s business – it helps create connections between employees and alleviates stress during a busy day. But if you’re showing movies, TV, or other audiovisual content in a public setting, you will likely need a licence.
Don’t worry though, we make compliance easy with our MPLC licences. Avoid the hassle of copyright infringements and fines as you continue to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for employees and clients alike.
MPLC specialises in Blanket Licensing, which offers a legal and compliant way to show copyright protected content in public. A public performance is where a film or TV programme is shown in a place where members of the public could see it outside of their own home.
Our Blanket Licence allows for public viewing of film, TV, and video content. It’s affordable, with unlimited exhibitions and best of all, no need to report what’s being shown and where.
Almost any business or organisation with a TV screen showing films or TV programmes will need a licence.
To learn more about the law and why you need our licence, you can read about Copyright Law. What’s more, it doesn’t matter how you obtain your programmes – whether through DVD, Blu-ray, download, streaming, broadcast, cable, or satellite television – the programme itself still needs to be licenced.
Our team are respected experts in copyright law, and we specialise in public exhibition. We’re here to help your business stay compliant, and reduce your business’s risk.
The royalties help support the creative talent behind your favourite TV shows and films.
To keep making great content, it’s critical for these creators to be paid fairly when their content is shown to the public. These additional earnings help them continue to create the content we all know and love, while also enabling venues to showcase entertainment both easily and legally.
We’re honoured to partner with the most recognised and prestigious Hollywood studios, as well as thousands of independent producers and content creators worldwide. Our studio partnerships include: The Walt Disney Company, Universal, Paramount, MGM, Lionsgate, 20th Century Studios and DreamWorks Animation.
MPLC works closely with leading institutions to support intellectual property rights. Along with our partners, we educate organisations about copyright and the importance of compliance.
