What is a licensing fee?
A licensing fee honors the creator's copyright by allowing churches to print the lyrics in bulletin inserts, project the lyrics, record the service, post video on the internet, etc.
The CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing, Inc.) advises: "The copyright law is very clear on copying music. If you do not have express permission from the rightful owner of the song, you cannot make a copy. A copyright is an exclusive right given to an author of an original created work. It is an asset, a legal interest, protected by law. Included in the exclusive rights given to a copyright owner is the right to copy the work into any form, including digital, print, and recordings."
As a small independent composer, my works are not covered by a CCLI license; therefore, I am handling licensing myself.
The nominal fee is based on church attendance and the number of services; please inquire here.
Thanks for your understanding and support, which makes future creation possible!
