Does anyone have experience with getting an umbrella license from mplc.org for showing movies in a coworking space?
We have a 200" screen and I would love to be able to use it for movies. I don't want to charge an admission fee or make a profit, but it would just be a fun use to have movie nights!
When I called the mplc they said my scenario doesn't fit into their licensing model, but I don't understand why and they are not giving me a clear reason.

I think if you’re not charging, you can probably go far without getting any permission. We did movie nights with our 200" screen as a friendly thing for members and friends and never ran into any trouble.
But that being said, I’d love to hear if anyone else has had or heard otherwise…

When we launched our film nights we decided it was very important for us to get the correct license and pay our way. The reason? We’re a creative and tech led workspace, and therefore are full of people who believe in the principle of artists and creatives getting paid for their work, and therefore by not paying correctly (which we could easily do, no one would ever notice/care) we’d be letting our members down.

That’s the way I feel about it, too. What license for which company did you use for your film nights?

We’re in the UK and use Film Bank Media http://www.filmbankmedia.com/ - costs around £90 per showing for us (not for profit and not charging for admission)
