Many operations and facilities teams 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 centre, that is a public performance under 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 patients and staff with confidence.
Centres and surgeries 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 operator realising. An MPLC Blanket Licence removes that uncertainty and gives you confidence that your use of content is properly covered.
The MPLC Blanket Licence gives you one simple, all-in-one solution. It covers a wide range of content from thousands of rightsholders, so there is no need to track usage or manage permissions screen by screen. Compliance stays straightforward.
