I wonder what the “license” part of “unlicensed cinema” is. Could it… Could it just maybe have something to do with… Not actually owning the things you buy, and therefore requiring a license?
Well, let’s use my photography as an example then. Do you think it’s perfectly okay if someone buys prints from me, sets up an art show displaying my pictures, and charges people money to see it - without my permission or offering me any compensation?
You sold them your prints, didn’t you? They’re not allowed to claim any ownership over the art of your photography, but they still are owners of the print they bought.
would you like to come over and watch a movie at my home theatre ?
i only charge one dollar for free all you can eat popcorn, a comfy chair, 12 foot screen, and huge sound system.
ignore the FBI warning after I press play.
Pirated movies are not something you’ve paid for. And watching DVDs with friends is not “illegal exhibition.”
i don’t pirate movies. i buy dvds.
and charging people a buck to watch “my dvd”, though, is illegal up to $250,000 fine and five years in prison
edit: and no i do not do this

So your issue isn’t that you don’t actually own the DVDs you paid for, but rather that you’re not allowed to run an unlicensed cinema.

That’s not what I asked.
