PRODUCERS WHO OFFER PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
NOTE: Not all films sold by these producers and distributors may have public performance rights, but all listed companies sell some materials with public performance rights. Some sell the same materials with and without such rights. Order carefully and note price differentials. For those companies that never grant public performance rights, click here. For off-air taping rights, go to Off-air taping rights for cable/satellite channels. Note that public performance rights are NOT necessary for a performance that meets the § 110(1) requirements for the face-to-face teaching exemption.
