COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

Copyright has been and remains a vexing issue for Christians. The Church copyright licence has provided a fair and workable solution to many of the problems, but the Internet has raised a host of new ones. In putting a MIDI file of a favourite song on a homepage aren't you just sharing with friends? The answer is a clear "no" even if that's what it feels like: effectively you're republishing copyright material and broadcasting it over a public communication system.

Some publishers, sensibly in my opinion, give permission for their material to be made available for demonstration purposes, but trust you to abide by any restrictions they make. Others, however, are totally paranoid.

Copyright, MIDI Files and the Internet

  • Charles Kelly's pages mentioned above - he stresses a) that they are still very much drafts for comment/correction, and b) he is not a lawyer and is not seeking to give authoritative advice.
Christian Copyright Licensing International
  • The people who handle the Church Copyright Licence. The on-line facilities on the site are currently mainly for North America, but there are email links for daughter organisations around the world, and a clear explanation of what the licence allows and does not allow.

    The UK branch has now set up its own site.

    There is also a searchable online database which provides publisher and writer (but not publication)information.
