Many dealers do not realise there can be a gap between accessing content and having permission to show it in a commercial setting. If content is being streamed, or TV or film broadcast anywhere in your dealership, that is a public performance under UK copyright law. An MPLC Blanket Licence closes that gap so you stay compliant. Once you have applied, you can keep showing our rightsholders’ content to customers and staff with confidence.
Dealerships without a licence can face a civil claim for damages with no upper limit for each programme or film shown, and in some cases a criminal fine. This often happens without the dealer realising. An MPLC Blanket Licence removes that uncertainty and gives you confidence that your use of content is properly covered.
The MPLC Blanket License provides a simple, all-in-one solution. It covers a wide range of content from thousands of rightsholders, so you don’t have to track usage or manage permissions screen by screen, making compliance straightforward.
