The Umbrella License® for Public and Private K-12 Day Schools
Showing movies or TV at school? Do parent-teacher organizations, student clubs or other groups using school facilities ever show content from DVDs or Blu-ray on site? Does your school have access to broadcast, cable or satellite TV? Maybe a before or after school program streams movies or TV in your facility? Did you know that situations like these require a public performance license?
Educators understand that copyrighted content is intended for personal, private use only. Entertainment exhibitions at your school require a license. Even if your school already has a public performance license, multiple licenses are needed to ensure broad coverage for a variety of rights holders and protect against copyright infringement. The Umbrella License offers a simple, affordable solution to copyright compliance.
It’s simple. With the Umbrella License you can show unlimited movies, TV and other audiovisual content with the assurance of copyright compliance. Obtain content on your own in any legal format including, but not limited to broadcast, cable or satellite television, DVD, Blu-ray, download, or streaming services. There is no obligation to report the titles shown. Just complete an application and you’ll be on your way.
Under the Umbrella License you will find content from every genre. MPLC provides annual copyright coverage for more than 1,000 rights holders, including children’s, independent, television, special interest, and international producers with only a few title exclusions.
