A recent memo from NBAA’s lawyers reaffirmed the association guidance that a Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) subscription is not required to view videos legally during Part 91 flights. MPLC, a copyright-licensing service representing various movie producers, has continued contacting corporate aircraft operators to sell them “a public performance exhibition license,” according to NBAA. The showing of videos on business airplanes during Part 91 operations does not constitute a “public performance” as defined by the U.S. Copyright Act, NBAA said.
