The licensing of the display of audiovisual contents with an Individual Entertainment System in a bus is one of the topics that raises the most questions. What kind of license do I need to show films? And for other contents such as television, music, etc.? These are some of the questions we will answer.
All audiovisual contents that are shown publicly must be mandatorily subject to a previous authorization obtained by the respective license for the display of audiovisual contents. But this is not a single license that applies to all types of content, it depends on the type of broadcast. We distinguish between films and other broadcasts, such as those of Live Television, music, etc...
The broadcasting of films is covered by the license of the company MLPC. This can be obtained directly from MPLC or other distributor, but the easiest and fastest way is to request it through the supplier of the Individual Entertainment System on board. This saves the bus operator time and actions, so he can focus on running his business without having to deal with paperwork and forms.
The annual payment of this type of license entitles you to unlimited broadcasting of the titles they represent, which is the vast majority of films that come on the market, including the productions of the major American producers.
The broadcasting of other types of content such as live television, music, etc. is linked to other licenses, which in this case the bus operator must apply directly to the companies that manage the intellectual property rights.
Usually these are licenses with a one-time payment that are valid for the entire life of the bus, in contrast to the licenses for the broadcasting of films, which, as we have just seen, are renewed annually.
