3. I have bought a lawful copy of a movie on a DVD. Will I infringe the copyright if I show the movie in a fund-raising event for charitable purposes?

Yes. Similar to playing a musical CD in public, showing a movie in public is also a copyright infringement if the showing is without the permission of the copyright owners. This is so even though the showing is for charitable purposes.
