Yes, it’s against the law to show the movie outside of your own home without a license.
The Law: The Federal Copyright Act (Title 17 of the U.S. Code) requires a public performance license for showing movies outside of your home even if admission is free. Even if you buy a dvd/BluRay, that purchase does NOT allow for use for public showings.
As “Home Use Only” is not a defense: Buying a physical copy (DVD, Blu-Ray) or having a personal streaming subscription (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+) only grants the right to watch the movie in your own home. It does not cover public screenings.
In addition, Downloading the movie, or “ripping” it from the internet to stream or project it in any way is illegal.
No, all showings require licenses and permission from the copyright holder. You can apply for a license for the special non profit event price of $250 flat .
