Is it legal to show a purchased DVD to a group of library patrons, in the
library, without charge?

Where can I go to find this information in printed/internet format?

Thankyou, Kate DiPronio

Hello there,

I guess that depends on several factors

- the content of the DVD (at linuxtag, there was a debian sarge dvd, which is certainly legal to show) - the region in the world where you are (over here in switzerland, showing dvds you own is not a problem, copying them might be)

so without further inmformation, consult the law texts for your region..
