Churches and Copyright
Helpful tips for churches on how to be compliant with copyright laws.
Join Augsburg Fortress for this 45-minute light-hearted approach to the sometimes complicated world of copyright law. This webinar will explore what copyright is and how it impacts churches. Copyright Specialist Michael Moore will discuss a little of the history of copyright law in the U.S. and how it affects churches as “weekend publishers” of bulletins and other materials. He will offer helpful tips on how to be compliant with copyright laws and how Augsburg Fortress can assist you. Topics addressed will include: elements of liturgies and music that need coverage, copyright licenses, live performances, and exemptions.
