Welcome to MPLC

Whenever films or cable programmes on DVD/Blu-ray, downloads, streaming, pay TV and video or on demand are being viewed outside a private home it is considered a 'public performance' and legal authorization is needed to avoid copyright infringement.

MPLC licenses these public exhibitions - the right for an audience to view all audiovisual content in a public location, such as retailers, waiting rooms, reception areas, bars & restaurants, activity centres, schools, children's nurseries, care homes etc. 

In order to make it easy to comply with the Copyright Ordinance, MPLC is offering an annual 'MPLC Umbrella License' which allows unlimited showings of all works from MPLC's rightsholders without the need of reporting titles, dates or times of performances.
