LEGAL STUFF

I now have a catalog of ten (10) songs licensed for church use with Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI). My intention is to submit other songs as I get them completed and copyrighted. CCLI does not actually provide the sheet music, but licenses the "fixation" or copying of songs, which you must still obtain from the publisher (this web site, in my case). Please see the CCLI web site for terms of the Church Copyright License and the SongSelect service, which does provide lyrics (and audio clips and leadsheets, if I ever get them provided). For my own thoughts on what "fixation activity" means in relation to PDF files, please see the file CCLIlegal.html.


Songs not (or until) licensed by CCLI may be freely used in any non-recorded, non-broadcast congregational worship, church service, Christian group meeting, or ministry, for which the musicians or singers are not paid as professional performers. For commercial recordings, publishing, broadcast or paid performance, email me (brentc(a)jbcmusic.com) to initiate contract discussions.

Recording: These songs may only be recorded under the terms of the CCLI Church License or as part of a church service or meeting which is recorded solely for archive purposes, or to be made available to the sick, shut-in, or otherwise absent members of the body.

If you do use and record any of these songs and can get it into a digital format, please send me a copy. I would like some recordings of the songs, first as a personal interest in seeing what other people do with them, second, with an ear toward possibly including clips on the website, and third, because CCLI will post audio clips on their site if available, and I may or may not eventually produce the quality they want in my home studio. Please contact me if you come up with a reasonable-quality recording you would like to share, brentc(a)jbcmusic.com
