Many pediatric dental offices have long shown movies to entertain and relax patients of all ages. What you may not have considered is that broadcast, cable or satellite television, DVDs, and streaming services, are all intended for personal, private use only and require a license to be shown in public spaces like a dental or medical practice. In 2011, AAPD negotiated an agreement with MPLC for the convenience of our members. The agreement provides AAPD members with a discount on the Umbrella License®, an annual license that protects your office from copyright infringement when movies, TV, and other audiovisual content is shown. Visit MPLC's website to learn more about obtaining an Umbrella License for your practice. MPLC Licensing Representatives are also available to answer any questions about the affordable annual license at (866) 522-MPLC (6752). Please contact Scott Litch at AAPD with any questions about the AAPD member discount at (312) 337-2169.
