The Outdoor Hospitality Industry (OHI) touted its partnership with MPLC (Motion Picture Licensing Corporation) to offer member campground and RV parks a blanket license for showing movies and TV programs.
OHI members have exclusive access to the deepest discounts with MPLC in the industry, the organization said.
MPLC is the global leader in public performance licensing, representing Hollywood’s biggest names like The Walt Disney Company, Universal, Paramount and Pixar, among others. For more than 35 years, MPLC has helped businesses and organizations legally show television and film content in public spaces outside of traditional theaters. This includes campgrounds, community venues, bars, hotels and many other businesses where guests and customers gather.
“By securing an MPLC Blanket License, you ensure that your park can legally entertain visitors while complying with federal copyright law,” the company said.
The distinction between private and public performance is important under U.S. copyright law. While guests can watch movies in their homes without a license, any public space, whether indoors or outdoors, requires one if movies or TV shows are shown. MPLC makes this process simple, affordable and fast, so you can focus on what matters most: delivering memorable experiences to guests. With just a few clicks, you can secure the rights to stream, broadcast or show DVD content to your visitors, ensuring you remain compliant and avoid any legal risks.
MPLC’s Blanket License provides campgrounds and RV parks with:
- Unlimited showings of movies and TV programs covered by MPLC’s vast catalog of rightsholders.
- No complicated reporting requirements, making the license easy to manage.
- Comprehensive coverage, allowing you to show films in any indoor or outdoor public space within your park.
- Exclusive OHI member pricing designed to save you money while keeping you covered.
“As an OHI member, you gain access to discounted rates on MPLC’s Blanket License, which provides coverage for parks of all sizes. Whether you’re showing a movie on a big screen for a summer night gathering or streaming TV shows in your common area, this license ensures that you’re operating within the bounds of copyright law,” the organization said.
