Copyright Licences
The Challenge
Understanding the many copyright issues related to music is complicated. Moreover, the law is confusing.
For churches and Christian organisations, a seemingly honest error or omission can be embarrassing, time-consuming, and costly. At the same time, the law seeks fairness and protection for all parties.
