Foxtel and Movies: What Aged Care Facilities Need To Know
Aged care facilities across Australia rely on Foxtel to provide top-notch entertainment for their residents. However, there's a common misunderstanding that a Foxtel subscription alone is enough to legally show movies in a public setting. The Big Studio Movie Licence is here to clarify that while Foxtel is an excellent service, it does not include the necessary public performance rights for movies shown in businesses, including aged care homes.
“Many aged care facilities believe their Foxtel subscription covers everything they need, but that's not entirely the case when it comes to movie licensing,” said Rod Hopping, CEO of The Big Studio Movie Licence. “We want to help these facilities understand the requirements and provide a simple solution to ensure they are fully compliant.”
Clearing Up the Confusion
A Foxtel subscription allows for private viewing but does not cover public screenings within a business setting, such as aged care homes where movies are shown to multiple residents in common areas. To legally show movies publicly, a separate movie license is required. The Big Studio Movie Licence offers comprehensive coverage to ensure compliance with copyright laws, protecting facilities from potential fines and legal issues.
