Why buy the DVD...when you can watch it for free?

Red Hot Movie Night will be showing Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story in a public screening according to a feedTacoma Event listing. This raises an issue. How was the Red Hot able to secure a license to use this copyrighted material in a public showing? If you're showing DVDs in a commercial business for the purpose of attracting customers you normally need to stick to Public Domain material. PD movies are the type they sell at the dollar store with the funky-looking covers. The Red Hot owners might want to run this promotion by an attorney before continuing.

Wow, low blow. Nice to see Tacomans sticking together. I say play on. There are plenty of spots around town with TVs on that probably don't have perm to show anything on TV in a public place.

Play whatever you want, but for Christs sake don't advertise it. Better you get a free heads up in from a blogger than an expensive heads up from a process server.

Ensie-Your rejoinder seems a bit discourteous, however that me be reflection of the real you. Since you take such obvious umbridge with my postings, why don't you start your own? You're free to display your uninformed opinions just like the rest of us.
