Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Missouri

No, that is copyright infringement unless permission was obtained. However, it is unlikely this will be pursued by any movie label unless it is a really large neighborhood.

As a Franchise Attorney I think my colleague neglected to ask a critical question. What movie are you talking about. Is it a movie about the neighborhood produced by neighbors in the hood or what? If, on the other hand, we're talking about a copyrighted, Hollywood movie in DVD, etc. format, that's the copyright infringement issue attorney Bruce is discussing. Think about the big warning that appears before you see these movies. Read that warning; maybe a couple times. It says it all. Consult with a good copyright (or wrong) attorney or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
