What if a video store says it is okay to exhibit their rented or purchased entertainment videos and DVDs on a motor coach?
Video stores rent or sell entertainment for home use only and cannot provide legal permission to use outside the home. Ownership of the movies and the right to use them publicly are two separate issues. The copyright holder retains exclusive public performance rights. A customer can, for example, buy a DVD of a movie, but they do not have the right to bring it on the bus to watch without a license.
