In the case of our video The Truth about Tobacco, "public performance right" means the right to show the video in a public place, or to transmit it to the public. This includes TV broadcast, transmission over local cable networks, libraries, classrooms, and other rooms in schools, health departments, hospitals and other public venues.

Restrictions

There is a clear distinction between "home" versus "public" viewings. Our copyright restricts the manner in which our video may be shown. If you buy or rent a film or a videotape, you always have permission to show it in your home. However, you are not allowed to show it in a classroom, library or any other public forum, without a public performance right.

Videos with performance rights are licensed for viewing at one school only, unless special permission is given.

Resale, rental and unauthorized duplication are strictly prohibited by law.

You may upgrade, if you already own
a copy purchased at a consumer price

If you already own a copy that you purchased at a consumer price, you may upgrade your video to "public performance" by paying the difference between the consumer price you paid and the public performance price (see previous page for the cost.)
