Hi Andrea,<div><br></div><div>Under US law, that could still constitute a public performance of the film, which in theory needs a separate license. I can't speak to UK law on the matter, though.</div><div><br></div><div>

Just a quick question:<br>
<br>
A registered society in University is allowed to have movie nights. A<br>
copyrighted protected video is shown to a small public. Now, if I stream<br>
it online without copying it, to the authenticated members of a given<br>
society, does that constitute an infringement of the law?<br>
<br>
Ciao,<br>
Andrea.<br>
