John Wayne - Old Movies - Royalties

Hello,

I work for a not-for-profit museum and we are wanting to show old John Wayne movies in our 144 seat theatre over the winter months as part of a fund-raising effort. If we have a free-will offering and do not charge for the movie, do we need to worry about paying movie royalties?

The short answer is you dont have to worry about copyright infringement as long as you have permission. You can contact the studio and obtain permission if you want to play it safe or you can show it without permssion and take your chances.
