Public and private screening
A public screening is the showing of moving pictures, sporting events, and music concerts to an audience in a public place. The event screened may be live or recorded, free or paid, and may use film, video, or a broadcast method such as satellite or closed-circuit television. Private screening refers to the screening of a commercially licensed film or media content to a group of people somewhere other than one of their homes. Private screening can be legally complex, as the distribution rights or broadcasting rights and regulations vary from country to country.
