Public Performance Rights DVD License

This license covers the physical media, DVD or Blu-ray purchase of a film. The license length is life of format. It allows for all university affiliates (affiliates defined as current students, staff, and faculty) to view the film individually or in a group-setting without limitation on audience size or venue type so long as audiences are in a single physical space. Screenings must be for non-paying audiences in a non-commercial fashion. Any public viewing on campus, such as student organizations hosting a viewing for university affiliates, or playing the film on a campus theater for university affiliates would all necessitate the purchase of this PPR license if charging an entrance fee.
