UK - A new licence which permits the use of movies to be shown in public to either private groups or the general public is now available. Videos and DVDs purchased or rented from retail outlets are for personal use only and unless specifically authorized, movies cannot be shown to the public or private group audiences, as this would be a breach of copyright.

With the launch of PVSL, Filmbank say it has made screening films in public easier and more cost effective for all businesses within this industry. For one annual fee, the PVS Licence will enable users to purchase VHS tapes and DVDs from retail outlets to screen within their outlet all year around. A separate PVSL is required for each location where movies are to be played. All VHS tapes and DVDs will need to be purchased or rented from legitimate UK retailers. This licence precludes any charging or promotion. Full Terms and Conditions and further information is available on the website detailed below.
