Check whether a title could legally have been licensed on the date it was shown, then generate the report.
Paste the listing URL and hit Fetch — the server opens the page and reads its event data. If a site blocks that, paste the page text as well and it falls back to reading that.
Ticketing sites publish machine-readable event data in the page — exact date, venue, postcode, price, organiser — that a copy-paste can't see. This runs on their page, where there's no cross-site barrier, and grabs it properly.
Each button opens a pre-filled email draft. The chip says how well that recipient actually fits this case — it changes with your verdict above.
Agent for the majors. Has a direct commercial interest in the unpaid fee and can confirm whether the event was licensed.
Councils have a published enforcement process and a duty to respond. Pick the authority for the event postcode, then paste in their licensing email — it's saved for next time.
FACT's remit is digital piracy — IPTV, streaming rings, camcording. A licensing gap at a pop-up falls outside it, and the Crimestoppers route is anonymous so nothing comes back to you. Included because you asked for it; expect no outcome.
Where the data comes from. The built-in holdback and special-permission lists were taken from Filmbankmedia's published page on 27 August 2026. Sync lists → Fetch live pulls Filmbank's current page through this site's own server and re-parses both lists; the paste route is the fallback if that fails. Filmbank update without notice, so re-sync before anything that matters, and treat a result here as a strong indication rather than proof. Open the live list ↗
Filmbank flag titles in two separate places, and they don't agree. The holdback page carries the moratorium and special-permission lists. Individual catalogue pages separately carry "(SPECIAL APPROVAL REQUIRED)" in the title — and a film can be flagged there while appearing nowhere on the holdback page. Paddington in Peru is exactly that case. So a "not in local data" result here means go and look at the catalogue page, not "it was fine" — the verdict links straight to that search. Filmbank also list Kubrick and Spielberg titles as special-pricing categories.
What a holdback means. The title is temporarily withdrawn from non-theatrical licensing, usually during a re-release. Nobody could have obtained a licence — so a screening inside that window was unlicensable, not merely unlicensed. That is the strongest finding this tool produces.
Cars has conflicting dates on Filmbank's own page (two overlapping windows). This tool flags the wider range and says so.
Council links are convenience links to each authority's website — verify the licensing address before sending. This is a summary of public information, not legal advice.
Hit Fetch live and the server pulls Filmbank's current lists straight in. If that's unavailable, the paste route below does the same job by hand.
