Discover Your Score on Church Copyright Compliance

May 4, 2016

I teach SURVEY OF COPYRIGHT & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW at the University of Mobile. This is my sixth year teaching students in the School of Worship Leadership in the Performing Arts Center about how copyrights impact churches and ministries, and I LOVE IT!

It’s a tremendous opportunity to equip tomorrow’s church and ministry leaders with the tools they’ll need to understand how to keep their organization copyright compliant. Plus, I learn a great deal each semester from my students on how to better unpack the complexities of the US Copyright Law. It helps me see where there’s confusion or difficulty in grasping certain concepts, and so hopefully I become a better educator.

Ultimately that helps CCS provide better resource tools in our LEARNING CENTER for church leaders, like our FREE downloadable Fact Sheets, blog articles, webinars, videos and our recent released 56-page eBook, “SOLVING THE PUZZLE OF COPYRIGHTS: Six Steps to Doing Music Right.”

Sometimes the mid-term and final exam evoke high anxiety in my students, but the testing really provides insight into what we need to increase in our focus and go over again.

As a church leader, Copyright Compliance doesn’t have to scare you anymore! We know that you want to honor copyrights, but it can be confusing and complicated to get your church started in the right direction.
