Many businesses do not realise there can be a gap between accessing content and having permission to show it in a commercial setting. If TV or films are shown anywhere in your workplace, 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 staff and visitors with confidence.

This often happens without the business realising. An MPLC Blanket Licence removes that uncertainty and gives you confidence that your use of content is properly covered.
