They literally put a warning about this at the beginning of movies. I do wonder who ratted them out though. My guess? Some parent made a facebook post or tweet talking about it and someone, whose job it is to scrape the Internet for these mentions, found that and reported it.

It's not Disney. Look at the company's "business objective"
<I>Movie Licensing USA Movie Licensing USA provides public performance licensing to legally bring the magic of movies to public libraries and K-12 schools across the U.S. Our licensing options satisfy federal copyright requirements to allow you to show movies from the worlds best studios, anywhere inside of your buildings.</I> So basically they're fining these people as a way of justifying their own stupid existence. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

IP laws need to be fucking completely reworked. Society as a whole has gotten fucked in the head though. Teachers used to play dubbed VHS tapes of movies during class....nobody every reported anyone for that back in the 90s. But nowadays people are different...people are falling in love too much government rules and reporting people and just fucking other people over. Sad shit.

They manage Disney's licensing as well as that of other companies. Disney justifies their existence. This does not absolve Disney of anything, and they have a history of ruthlessness as it is.Disney had nothing to do with this case, except that they made the movie. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

I think you should be able to show a movie in a classroom as part of a lesson or just to reward the kids. That should be protected.
But an advertised exhibition open to the public is something which requires the consent of the property holders. That's not Disney being an evil corporation. That's how exhibition laws function. That's why there's a cover charge if you local bar shows a PPV event. That's why theaters which show old movies show certain movies and not others. Disney is pretty damn draconian with their IPs, but you can't realistically expect them to give carte blanche to anyone who shows a film of theirs for a good cause. You really think a fundraiser or a blood drive is going to supersede copyright laws? Let's show Avengers: Endgame and the original Star Wars trilogy for a $5 donation. You can expect to put $250 into organizing a fundraiser. For the amount of money it would take to get an authorized exhibition of The Lion King, you'd never earn your money back from any attendance level. This is a pretty simple case of, "ask forgiveness, not permission." I'm sorry, but the bad guy is within their rights this time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh I see, they charged an admission for the movie. If it was a free event there would be no problem. I guess you can have a bake sale and screen the movie for free and it'd be alright. Or just charge for concessions and screen the movie for free.

They can't just deny it happened?Your friend's house isn't a public venue And looking past the Disney aspect of this, the whole reason licensing exists is because it's one of the ways creators make money. You're also supposed to pay to play music. What will most likely happen here is Disney will recognize the bad press and try to compensate them in some way, but it will still leave a sour taste --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Disney uses the company that fined the school. Unless they take action against this decision or to compensate the school, which they have the ability to do, they are complicit.No, the company uses the current copyright law to fine the school and will send the money to Disney later, Disney doesnt know everything this third party does. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

Disney uses the company to manage their licensing, as explicitly stated in the article. Disney can choose to compensate the school or take some other action against the fine. Otherwise, they are condoning what their licensing company did.But Disney got no idea that the third party company used the law against the school. You make it sound like they would bow in front of the Throne of Mouse, informing the Mouse that they found out that a school broke the copyright law and begging the Mouse for permission to send out a demand for money, to which the Mouse would laugh evily and demand them to charge some extra. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
