Copyright-Checklist for Churches - Information on Question No. 4

Do you save lyric files on your computer in order to display songs with a projector?

When saving song lyric files on a computer you require a licence because it is considered a graphical reproduction. This applies regardless whether you use stored song files for print-outs or display songs with a projector. You can get legal coverage for storing songs (lyric and notation) through the Church Copyright Licence (CCL). This is a blanket licence for reproducing songs for churches and Christian organisations.

Please note: Your church might be paying GEMA fees already. But GEMA does NOT cover the reproduction of song words. GEMA is in charge for performance, broadcast and mechanical rights. (Please see the table below.)

There are different aspects of utilizing songs:

Kind-of-Use	Utilization	Licensed by
Graphical reproduction	Printing Photocopying Hand writing Storing songs on a computer	CCLI
Playing music	Public Performance like live concerts or playing music from a CD Broadcasts (Radio, television, internet)	GEMA
Mechanical reproduction	Reproduction of CDs or DVDs, which contain recorded music.	GEMA
