They don't like it, but the way the law has been interpreted by most is that they can't do a thing about it if you don't make people pay.

Like Xantar says, you need a license for "Public Viewing". Essentially I think the deciding factor is if you're showing it on Public Property or in a privately owned building. Though I could be wrong.
