Churches are not exempt from the law in Canada. Any screening in a
public place needs Public Performance rights,
whether it's a school, church or daycare.

Thanks for the recipe Gary! I have a quick question for everyone (I
am sure there are not many out there today) who is familiar with
Canada and screening rights. I got an email from a person who said
that her church has "rights" to the show films as a public performance
without buying the PPR. I am not sure how this works in Canada or
with churches. She seemed to genuinely think it was normal as they
have shown other films. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
