Display or "performance" of an audio-visual work (movie) is an exclusive right reserved to the owner of the copyright of the movie (usually the producers), and many of the underlying works portrayed in the movie.
Showing a movie in public without license could be copyright infringement with all the risks of penalties/damages, injunction, fines, seizure and the legal expenses of defending yourself.
Get a license. The largest movie licensing company, Swank, is linked below.
Public display, even for free, requires a license from the copyright holder. Having a rented movie on hand (what the law calls "mere possession") only gives permission for private viewing.
There is no one place to look for all insurance companies. The best place for you to look is to turn to a major insurance company and see what they quote other companies at.
It depends on the use. Certain uses (especially educational) are exempted in the copyright law. If the use is infringing, fines range from $750 to $35,000.
Unlicensed duplication of a movie is a form of copyright infringement.
The Sony v Universal ruling was that a technology should not be stifled because it was capable of infringing uses.
No. This is a breach of the license which is usually stated before the movie: "this video is for home use only and is not to be viewed publicly" etc. By showing the movie to others and making a profit from that viewing, without prior permission from or returning a share to the makers, you are effectively breaking the copyright laws.
If you are using a Copyright Video and/or Audio, you need expressed written permission from the artist(s) before you can publish it. If you do not get this permission, and still publish it, you risk being sued for Copyright Infringement.
No, copyrighted music cannot be used in your movie without permission, especially if it is to be published. You should always get permission from the respective copyright owners if you want to use content you do not own.
It was posted without permission from the copyright holder.
If you manage to find a full version of the movie on YouTube, then you can play the video to watch the movie. However, beause it is a copyrighted material, I would imagine that it would not last long on YouTube because the owner of any part of the video, whether it be audio or visual parts of the movie, will be able to send a takedown notice alerting YouTube of copyright infringement. If a video is infringing someone's copyright and somebody claims it to be their property, then the video can be taken down.
The biggest complaint was that it criminalized circumvention of copyright protection, even if the resulting use was not infringing. For example, a films studies teacher wishing to make a clip reel of movie scenes could no longer do so within the law.
Contact the movie company. The copyright holder, or designated agent, is the only one who can legally do anything about a copyright infringement.
As long as the movie was originally purchased from the source of the copyright, this is fine. Used movies are sold without penalty.If the movie one has purchased was originally stolen from the source of the copyright, the person purchasing said movie is in possession of stolen material, whether they are conscious of this fact or not.
Showing a movie without sound would still be considered a public performance, which would require a license.
