Hi
No we don't I have a letter from the company on file which confirms that childminders do not need this.ni kept it just in case ever asked.

No-one can prove that you have watched DVD's with minded children - not sure though if I remembered reading that you were supposed to have this licence to watch Disney films, you could always say that if your own children/grandchildren watch the films while mindees are present that you blindfold the mindees and use ear plugs!

In their FAQs it says:


We own the DVD, so do we still need a licence to view or show it in public?

Yes. The location requires a licence regardless of who owns the audiovisual work. While you may own the actual DVD, you are only granted the right to view it in your home, not to perform it in public

So it says that by owning the DVD we are granted the right to watch them in our own homes. I'd argue that we're covered by that :thumbsup:

Sounds like the performing arts copyright on music and we are exempt from that one.
