So i have a friend that owns a bounce house company and we have been toying with the idea of using one of his products "movie under the stars" basically a 24 foot inflatable movie screen and the accompanying projection and sound equipment to play a movie or movies and or video games in an area near our que line. The issue i noticed is in the "Public Performance Permit" which is handled through a company that movie studios use to license there films for public viewing. I have yet to call that company to discus the idea but with a quick look around there site its sounds very expensive. Regardless of if you charge for the film or not you have to pay them and if you charge they get a large percentage of your ticketing. As for video games i have not been able to find any such permit yet but it wouldn't surprise me if its out there. Basically what im wondering is if anyone has done this or has experience with this and any advice you may have. We could always just not worry about the permit and do it anyways but i think they do deserve some money just not all of it, and we have a local haunt that would be quick to bring us to the companies attention so i have a feeling we will either do it all on the up and up or not do it at all.
Thanks
