Showing Copyrighted Content

As we have graduated from being a club,to an official NFP, we need to do our diligence in looking to see if we have the rights to present copyrighted material, in a public, or semi-public forum. There are a number of movies, for example, which are known to be released into the public domain.

• Public Domain

• Compliance with copyright laws
  • For other movies, or other forms of media, it may require a bit of work, to figure out if it is ok to present, and any fees associated (if any).
  • Note that Creative Commons protected movies are copyrighted but are perfectly usable in the space
