Er, perhaps more to the point, in re: the Inconvenient Truth usage
issues...

Don't you need to be licensed by the film company to show it? (Every dvd
I have says unauthorized distribution will get you wailed on by the FBI
etc) And wouldn't it be wrong to accept free copies... then turn around
and sell them. Sorta gauche at the least, possibly legally unkosher. Or
so I would assume.

I cannot stress enough that nearly without exception one cannot randomly
combine a collection of circuitry and power supplies into an object and
"accidentally discover" that it is a fully functioning death ray. I
speak here from bitter experience.

Could distributing the movie be construed as lobbying or political
action in a way that could jeopardize an organization's non-profit
status?
