What is Public Performance?
Licensing
- Some films in the library are purchased with a public performance license, these are usually specialized documentaries from specific publishers.
- Rights included vary according to publisher, but at the least they allow public showings to students, faculty, and staff, as long as no admission is charged.
- Usually, showing the film online is still restricted.
