An active Licence allows you to make copies of Songs from participating Publications to assist with congregational singing, in the following manner. You may:
- Photocopy or scan pages from hymnals, songbooks and sheet music, including typeset sheet music downloaded from the Internet, provided you have purchased an original copy, or the Publication is permanently out of print
- Electronically duplicate and share sheet music files with members of your organisation (e.g. email a PDF to another person or share via networked screens)
Activities Not Permitted
This Licence has certain important and necessary limitations and you may not:
- Distribute, sell or share in any manner copies made under the Licence for use outside of your organisation’s activities
Publication and Song Validation
Validating that a song or publication is authorised is simple:
- Publications
Search the Music Reproduction Licence – Covered Publications list at ccli.com/copyright-owners-lists.
- Songs
Visit SongSelect.ccli.com and enter the song title in the search box. If your initial search results don’t include the song you are looking for, tick the box next to “Expand search to show all songs” for more results. Find a match and you’re good to go. If you don’t find a match, it’s likely the song is not covered by the licence.
When in doubt, CCLI’s Customer Service is ready to help.
