Licensing Gap
with Umbrella
License for K-12
The Motion Picture
Licensing Corporation
(MPLC), an independent
copyright licensing agency,
is introducing its Umbrella
License for K-12 schools and districts to supplement
any existing license to show movies. The license
gives schools the performance rights to show
movies, popular children’s programs, educational
documentaries, and other audiovisual content for
entertainment purposes on their campuses, and
many major studios are covered. Once licensed,
movies can be obtained from any legitimate source.
