I live in a luxury condominium complex that has a shared theater. Owners sign up to use the theater. Can we buy a Kaleidescape System for use in our shared theater?
Kaleidescape will certainly sell you a Kaleidescape System for use in such a shared theater. If you have questions about the legality of your contemplated use of the Kaleidescape System, we encourage you to consult an attorney because Kaleidescape cannot provide legal advice, and the specific facts of your situation may be significant. However, we believe that viewing videos in this type of shared theater would most likely not be considered a “public performance,” assuming that the theater is never open to the public and there are never a substantial number of persons in attendance outside of the normal circle of family and social acquaintances of the owner who booked the theater. If the DVDs imported into the Kaleidescape System are purchased by the condominium complex or by the individual owners, and they are not used for anything else, then the shared use of these DVDs would be analogous to loaning some DVDs to a friend, which to our knowledge is perfectly legal.
