The licenses for the broadcasting of audiovisual content of an in-bus personal entertainment system raise doubts for many, such as what licenses are needed for the broadcasting of movies as well as live television, music, and so on. We will address these questions in this post.
All audiovisual content broadcast to the public requires prior permission and this is obtained with the appropriate Audiovisual Content Broadcasting License. However, it is not a single license for all types of content. Here a distinction is made between films and others such as live TV, music, etc.
The MPLC company license covers the broadcasting of films . These are obtained directly from MPLC in Spain, although the quickest and most convenient option for the carrier is to request them through the onboard entertainment system dealer . This way, the carrier saves time and effort and can focus on their business .
The annual payment of this type of license allows unlimited broadcasting of the titles covered by the license, ie the majority of films on the market, including those of the major American production companies, are included.
The broadcasting of other types of content such as live TV, music…requires other licenses, which in this case the carrier must apply directly to the Institute of Intellectual Property Rights. Unlike the license for broadcasting films, where the license must be renewed annually, this is a license that is valid for the life of the bus with a one-off payment .
