STUART CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH COPYRIGHT LICENSE
Why Do We Need a Copyright License?
Because using copyrighted work without permission is illegal. Copyright permissions are a matter of justice. Copyright owners rely on their royalty income to live, and publishers rely on the income to enable them to make a profit and to produce further resources.
Suart Congrgational Church CCLI Copyright License
Our CCLI license provides us with the permission required to copy or reproduce worship songs and hymns that are in copyright.
What is Copyright?
“Copyright” is the legal protection of a creative work. Using a work without permission that is under copyright is against the law, and penalties can be financially severe. There is no exemption from copyright law for churches. Creative works are protected for 95 years (if published before 1978) or the life of the creator of the work plus 70 years if published after January 1, 1978. Remember, the work is the property of the person who created it. To use it without permission is stealing.
