To perform or display
a work "publicly" means--to perform or display it at a place open to the
public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of
a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances are gathered;
to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work
to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device
or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the
performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places
and at the same time or at different times. (Title 17, U.S.C., Copyrights,
Section 101, Definitions)
What
is Public Performance Rights (PPR)?
The Exhibition or
Screening of this Video in a Public Setting requires the venue, establishment,
or in some cases the individual to secure an additional license, The Public
Performance License. The basic concept here is that if you, your class
or Institution are going to benefit from the Performance of a Producer's
Work, the Producer should also benefit. These additional PPR fees collected
by the Libraries or Educational Institutions are paid to the Producer
as compensation for the performance of their works within a Public Arena
i.e.: Classroom, Rental Facility, Library, Auditorium or part of a Public
Presentation for paying customers or for free Shipping.
