Washu:
So long as the media in question has been purchased through legal methods, i.e. DVD, I don't forsee this being an issue.
However we cannot permit the showing of any content if it has not been acquired through a legal method, I hope this helps clarify for you.
lamar:
A limit to physical media does limit it to basically one of the three episodes released on DVD. And I don't have a portable R1 DVD player anyway, so that makes it moot. The series is only available 'to own' otherwise via iTunes downloads to a US account, and I understand it if you'd rather not take the legal issues of showing those. It's mainly watched via Hasbro's 'The Hub' TV channel and their on-line streaming site, and that's a nest of legal issues and practical ones to access too.
Unfortunately, other than grey-market-imports, the only 'legally licensed distribution' of the show in the UK is a single mid-week mid-afternoon showing on 'Boomerang' who are sitting on the UK rights. Hasbro made the epic mistake of selling the R2 distribution rights to a company with competing toys in the UK market.
To clarify, the only way I'll be able to show an episode then, is if you're okay with my showing iTunes downloads "imported" from a US account.
Washu:
Ah you've misunderstood Lamar, by media I meant in any form be this legally purchased through iTunes or similar retailer or a DVD/BluRay, not limited to DVD.
Fermi:
as I understand it, any media to be played out to an audience, paying or otherwise, has to be played in a venue with a specific license (akin to the PRS license music venues have), it's specified in the wall o' text (TM) that you're forced to watch before you can watch your DVD, so it's something you'd have to ask the hotel about, if I'm right.
Matt the Lion:
The hotel does have a public performance license, however we would need to double check how this is affected by anything that was purchased outside the UK.
