Wrong. We are licensed to show these films by the Motion Picture
Licensing Authority (or whatever the heck they're called), and I've got
the stupid certificate to prove it.


Good for you! Then advertise away! (in early postings there was some
question about whether or not you thought it was needed)

It's probably not needed, and it's certainly not worth it -- but
someone in this 'group reported us to the MPLA, after which they sent
us a nice letter "requesting" that we comply with their demands, or
face legal action.

At which point I discovered that this "association" was only requesting
$2.25 per week for "permission" to show movies for free. Suddenly the
issue didn't seem important enough to fight, so we bought a year's
worth of "license"...just so we could show free movies to pilots in our
own hotel.

Ain't America wonderful?

For the record, it wasn't me. I would not do that.

I'm actually surprised it's so little. Your comment implies that you
believe the money is unearned however. I would dispute that. It also
implies that you get no financial benefit from this. I would dispute
that too.

Yep.
