We use Swank as well. The license cost is based on student population and is per building (we pay under $400/building). We have it for all of our buildings except the High School (I have had to deal with more than one angry HS teacher over this). As with any of the licensing companies, you have to check to make sure the movie you want to show is covered. For example, Swank covers pretty much all of the major studios/distributors EXCEPT Fox. Also, this covers ONLY motion pictures - not TV shows.
On a related topic, we also have a district-wide ASCAP license to cover playing copyrighted music (like at games, dances, etc). -TS -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Hunt, Jeffrey Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 3:46 PM To: tech-geeks@tech-geeks.org Subject: [tech-geeks] Movie licenses I use swank motion pictures for movie licenses.
