That's a "public viewing" which you need to get a license for.
But if you just put it on your computer screen in your dorm room, it's perfectly fine because then it's "private."

I thought that was legal so log as you didn't require people to pay...? I know Disney gets ticked off when their movies are shown in public for profit without their permission....
