Good afternoon everyone
What is the legal position on allowing patrons to view DVDs on People's
Network computers? Most of our machines now have DVD drives, but no
codec software to watch a feature film and a patron recently tried to do
this.
Does watching a film, albeit as an individual wearing headphones, in a
public library constitute a public performance? Is there a distinction
between educational or feature films?
Many thanks
