Copyright for Music and Videos
Presenter: Mark Carroll (CVLI), Nate Scott (CCLI) & Deanna Rose (CCS)
Why should we pay attention to copyright law? Why is copyright law important for worshiping communities? What do various music licenses cover? What are the legal rights to consider when filming a choir performance for publishing to YouTube or Facebook Live or elsewhere? What are the differences between posting a recorded video with music versus a livestream with music? What considerations do churches need to make about showing videos or movies? What licensing is needed for showing a film? Are there restrictions on advertising that you’ll be showing a film? Can you charge admission to an event where a movie will be shown? So many questions to ask about copyright! A panel of presenters will be answering these questions: Mark Carroll, CVLI Product Manager, CVLI.com (Church Video License); Nate Scott, CCLI’s Director of Publisher & Songwriter Relations, CCLI.com (Church Copyright License); and Deanna Rose, CCS’s Operations Manager, CCS (Christian Copyright Solutions, christiancopyrightsolutions.com).
