[LM_NET] OT: movie copyright issue with church group

[Diane Averett <daverett@KERRVANCE.COM>]

Hello friends,

 

One of my church buddies knows that I'm always reminding folks of copyright
issues, so she threw this question my way:  If a small church group wants to
watch a movie rented from NetFlix to the group, is that a copyright
infringement?   "One Night With the King" is apparently about the Esther
story from the Bible and the group is watching the movie as a culmination of
a study.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.
