  This webpage may be helpful in answering that questions: Q&A: Public Displays of Movies and Video https://www.stanford.edu/group/ic/cgi-bin/drupal2/node/418 https://www.stanford.edu/group/ic/cgi-bin/drupal2/node/418 Question: When do I need a license to show a movie or video at a public event? Answer: Stanford students and faculty often inquire about public display of video materials. This page is intended to clarify the law on public performance and display. Generally speaking, video tapes and DVDs that are available for purchase, rented from commercial establishments (eg Blockbuster), or checked out of the library are for home viewing purposes, unless you have a license to use them elsewhere. That means no license is required to view a videotape in your dorm room, or with family or friends. However, any public display, on campus and elsewhere, requires a license, unless the display qualifies for the face-to-face teaching exemption, as discussed below. There is a common misconception that you only need a license if you plan to charge a fee to view the movie. Even where do you not plan to charge a fee, you still must secure a license unless the narrow face-to-face teaching exemption applies.
