Licensing Agents
Due to copyright restrictions, you may need a license to show the movies. These licenses vary depending on the venue in which they are shown. Stay legal. It is a fairly simple process to get the right for these viewings. In some cases, you may find you can get a blanket license for a fee as low as $50 per year.
