Worship Resource Sites
Honoring the creativity of artist is an ethical and moral responsibility. Some general licenses can be obtained from:
Music:
www.ccli.com (general license for most ‘contemporary’ style music administrators……fees based on church size) Christian Copyright Licensing, Inc. CCLI is the independent corporation established to meet the needs of all churches, providing practical support and services to help them fulfill their moral obligations and protect their rights under the law.
www.onelicense.net (general license for more ‘traditional’ style music hymnals/administrators…sliding fee bases) OneLicense.net includes many significant publishers of hymn texts, hymn tunes, and songs for worship that are not currently represented by any other joint licensing entity. Through OneLicense.net, churches and religious institutions are able to reproduce words and/or music for the congregation from the catalogs of all of the partnering publishing houses for one annual fee. Similarly, organizations that have daily devotions or worship as part of their annual conventions or conferences can clear all the copyrights they need with a single event license. For more information, visit www.OneLicense.net or call 800/663-1501.
