What are Public Performance Rights? Does our purchase of a video program include these rights?
Public Performance Rights enable the purchaser of a film or video program to show it to a public audience for example, in a public meeting, or group showing at a library as opposed to individual home use or use by a single viewer in a study carrel. Purchase of our programs normally does include Public Performance Rights. The rare exceptions are certain special discount offers, where we clearly specify “Home Use Only.” The purchase of our films does not include the right to show them theatrically or where admission fees are charged to the general public.
