This is a riot, even animals know not to bite the hand that feeds them....

Ya I was thinking the same thing throwing timber. Is it copyright if I had 10 of my friends over to my house to watch the movie? Seeing that this site probably did a lot in terms of advertising for you I dont see why you wouldnt like 20 or so people watch the movie, if anything it would be great free advertising for the movie.

I disagree. It took Mike over 4 years to make that DVD. If it is shown to a group of likely over 50 people, it is LESS likely that those folks who do not already own a copy will go out and buy it. As good as it is (and it is great!), I will likely only be watching the copy I purchased (OK, it was a gift) a few times. Copyright laws are there for a reason.

Common sense and I believe the law dictates that a not for profit, non-commercial group viewing of a purchased copy of anything at a private gathering does not equate to copyright infringement. If it was, anytime you invited a group of friends over to watch a movie/game they will in turn be less likely to buy a copy of that movie/game and you are guilty. If thats the case I'm a Pirate and will continue to be.

Thats what I mean. JohnR isn't making a profit off of showing this movie. A fishing documentary is alot different than a hollywood movie also. People want to have this movie for themselves so that they are able to watch it whenever to get pumped up for the season or refresh their memory on a certain lesson. As of now I have not purchased the movie but have every intention to purchase the movie regardless of wether or not it is shown at the meeting.

He may not "make a profit" but he may draw more people to the event with the announced showing of it, thus costing the producer. Is this not true?
