Contents 3 Being CCLI’s Active Contact 6 Copyright Licences from CCLI 12Reporting Introduction Thank you for purchasing copyright licences from CCLI. These licences will enable your church to make greater use of the many and varied copyright works that exist without the risk of infringing copyright law. You’ll also be ensuring that royalties are fairly and accurately apportioned to those who create the works that your church/organisation enjoys. This kit provides more information about our licences and where to find important resources such as details of the publishers/producers they cover. Reporting This kit also takes you through the process of reporting the songs and publications you reproduce or copy and the music you play - a vital part of being a licence holder. To find out more about reporting, visit uk.ccli.com/reporting. 2 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/churches Being CCLI’s Active Contact 3 Being CCLI’s Active Contact Thank you for being our Active Contact. By assuming this role you are helping to ensure that your church can make the most of copyright works in its services and activities without infringing copyright law. You’ll also be helping CCLI to accurately apportion royalties to the artists and owners of the works your church/organisation enjoys. This in turn helps songwriters and artists to continue their ministry and bless the church with high quality new songs and resources in the future. Being an Active Contact for CCLI needn’t be an arduous task! Below are a few of the key areas where CCLI values your help in maintaining the correct licence cover for your church and passing on to your team information about licence cover and the various added-value resources that are available to you. Keeping informed You will receive information on behalf of your church from CCLI about the maintenance of your CCLI account, your current licences, details of other licences and changes to the law that could affect your church/organisation. We’ll also let you know about resources and services that may help your church get more value from your licences. It’s important that you read, share, pass on or forward this information to those within your team who may need to know. This includes ministers, worship leaders/musicians, PA and technical teams, children’s and youth leaders and social/event organisers. We’ll write to you occasionally encouraging you to review the licence requirements of your church. Don’t worry, this doesn’t necessarily mean more licences – it might even mean you have licences you no longer need! If you’re not sure about the copyright implications of any activities within your church, CCLI’s Fact Files are a great source of information. These can be found at uk.ccli.com/fact-files. i Where to go for assistance … If you need help or more information, the best place to look is our website: uk.ccli.com/churches. Alternatively, call our friendly and knowledgable Customer Services team on +44 (0)1323 436100. Our Customer Services team are experts on how copyright affects the church.

It’s a vital responsibility of being a licence holder to tell CCLI about the songs and publications you reproduce or copy. All reporting is now done online, ideally on a weekly basis. Although as Active Contact we’ll send information and reminders about reporting to you, you can give the responsibility for reporting to someone else. Or you can add multiple users to your Online Reporting account and ask those who reproduce songs or make copies to share the responsibility. i How to report ... You report using our Online Reporting website: olr.ccli.com We’ll send you a Reporting Guide with each renewal and you’ll find lots of help on the Online Reporting website itself. However, we recommend that you read and view the additional help-guides at uk.ccli.com/reporting Keep us up-to-date Please notify us if you or your church’s details change ... • You want to change the person who acts as CCLI’s Active Contact • You think the size category CCLI holds for your church is incorrect • Y ou are uncertain whether you have the correct licence cover or permission for a one-off or regular activity undertaken by your church • Y our church starts using new technology which may involve the use of copyright materials (e.g. you purchase a projector to show film scenes in services) • Your church contact or premises details change in any way Be an evangelist Of course you’re an evangelist, you’re part of a church fellowship! But why not be an evangelist for what your licences enable too. They can help your church reach out into your community in a dynamic and relevant way. Our licences could enable your church to enhance its activities with the use of films, to make photocopies so that everyone can participate and stay informed and to help everyone to feel included in worship. Please make sure those involved in the ministry of the church are aware of what cover is in place and how that could benefit your church in its ministry. 5 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/churches Copyright Licences from CCLI 6 Copyright Licences from CCLI Church Copyright Licence (CCL) uk.ccli.com/ccl The CCL permits your church to do the following: • R eproduce, by means of projecting, typing, printing or hand-writing, the words of authorised* hymns and worship songs onto screens, service sheets, handouts and OHP acetates etc. for your congregation • U nder the words of each song reproduced you must include the following: [author], © [year, owner], [your licence number] e.g. Fred Smiley, © 2013 Happy Music Ltd., CCL No. 123456 • M ake customised instrumental arrangements of authorised* music compositions, where no published arrangement is available.

Reproducing Songs Under The Music Reproduction Licence There are two distinct copyrights that apply when you wish to reproduce a song from a publication; copyright in the words & music of the song and copyright in the typography of the publication itself. To legally photocopy, scan or share electronically a song from any music publication*, both the song (including words & music) and the music publication must be covered by CCLI licences (Authorised) or in the Public Domain. *Includes hymnbooks (words only and music copies), publisher-made lead sheets & chord-sheets 1 Is the publication on the MRL Authorised Publication List or in the Public Domain (PD)?

NO – You are not permitted to photocopy, scan or share electronically anything from this publication. 2 Is the Song Owner on the MRL Authorised Catalogue List or are both the words & music PD? YES – Go to step 3. Publishers usually assign songs to music catalogues. The MRL Authorised Catalogue List is available at churches.uk.ccli.com/authorised.

Under the Terms of Agreement of your CLA Church Licence you are required to report which publications you photocopy. Please see the Reporting section of this booklet or visit uk.ccli.com/reporting for more details. 9 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/churches Copyright Licences from CCLI PRS for Music Church Licence uk.ccli.com/prs The PRS for Music Church Licence covers music performance activities in your church, whether live or from a music recording. In some cases your church hall may also be covered, details of which can be found on our website: uk.ccli.com/prs. If you play sound recordings in your church (e.g. CDs, MP3s or music DVDs) then you need both a PRS for Music Church Licence and a PPL Church Licence (see below). PRS for Music royalty distribution is based upon data collected from various sources, as determined by PRS for Music. As a result there is no requirement for you to report to CCLI. NB: If music (live or via a commercial music recording) is only performed/played on your church premises during Acts of Worship (e.g. regular Sunday services), then PRS for Music does not currently insist on a licence being purchased. Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) Church Licence uk.ccli.com/ppl The PPL Church Licence permits your church to play music recordings (e.g. CDs, MP3s or music DVDs) during its various activities, including other groups using your church premises. Your premises must also be covered by a PRS for Music licence as these two licences cover different rights within a recorded work. Under the Terms of Agreement of your PPL Church Licence you are required to provide CCLI with certain details about the music recordings played. Please see the Reporting section of this booklet or visit uk.ccli.com/reporting for more details. NB: if sound recordings are only played on your church premises during Acts of Worship (e.g. regular Sunday services), then PPL does not currently insist on a licence being purchased. 10 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/churches Copyright Licences from CCLI Church Video Licence (CVL) uk.ccli.com/cvl The CVL permits your church to do the following: • Host film nights for your congregation or as an outreach activity • Show films in your children’s and youth activities • Show any number of film scenes from the producers covered by the licence • C ue up the start and end time of the film scene for your presentation. You cannot copy the film scene you wish to show onto a DVD-R or your computer - you must use the original DVD or Video • Show a film scene on a particular topic and prepare some questions for discussion • Y ou can only show an original, purchased copy (DVD, Video or download) of a film. Recordings from television are not covered by this licence. For a full list of the producers whose films are covered by the licence visit our website: uk.ccli.com/film-producers. No charge may be made for entry to see a film and you cannot advertise specific film titles to the general public. Royalty distribution from the CVL is based upon video sales. As a result there is no requirement for you to make any report to CCLI. You will also need a PRS for Music Church Licence in an addition to the Church Video Licence if you show films in public during non-worship activities because music is contained within film soundtracks. uk.ccli.com/screenvue ScreenVue is an online source of film scene ideas and downloads for churches and Christian ministries. Standard membership is free CVL licence holders. If you have a CVL but are not using ScreenVue, visit our website or call us on +44 (0)1323 436100 for further details. 11 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/churches Reporting Introduction to Reporting CCLI’s Terms of Agreement require licence holders to report what has been reproduced, copied or played under the CCL, MRL, CLA Church Licence and PPL Church Licence. The information collected from these reports is used to calculate the royalties due to song writers and publishers and is therefore of vital importance. Without this information CCLI would not be able to pay fair and accurate royalties to copyright owners. Online reporting has now replaced reporting booklets and the CopyReport4 software. It’s easy to use from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection. The Online Reporting website enables CCLI to meet new requirements from copyright owners regarding the quality and nature of the data that we collect. The following pages will take you through the reporting process, but you’ll find more comprehensive support and help-guides at olr.ccli.com or at uk.ccli.com/reporting. Alternatively, we’re here to help on 01323 436100. REPORTING IS REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING LICENCES Church Copyright Licence (CCL) Music Reproduction Licence (MRL) CLA Church Licence PPL Church Licence Reported before? For customers who have reported previously using the CopyReport4 software, the introduction of Online Reporting brings a number of important changes: • You should now report on a weekly or regular basis, rather than at the end of your licence period • Y ou must now report a song every time you reproduce it, rather than just reporting that you have used a song at least once in your licence period. • Th e responsibility for reporting can be shared. Reporting online means that everyone in your church who reproduces songs or photocopies publications can report their activity directly on the Online Reporting website on an ongoing basis • Th e Online Reporting website links to CCLI’s database meaning it covers the entire CCLI repertoire and is updated on a daily basis • Th e different categories in which a song is reported have changed to reflect changes in the technology that may be used to reproduce it • Th e ability to produce a custom arrangement of a song where no arrangement exists is now reported under the CCL rather than the MRL 13 For the latest information visit uk.ccli.com/reporting When to report The requirements now vary for different licences, as follows: Church Copyright Licence (CCL) & Music Reproduction Licence (MRL) Please report the songs you reproduce or copy under the CCL and MRL on a regular basis, ideally weekly. Since the report is online, there is no longer a deadline by when these particular reports must be submitted. However, CCL will collect the data twice a year. Once we’ve collected the data for a six month period, you’ll no longer be able to amend details of what you reported during that period. CLA Church Licence As previously, the best way to report CLA Church Licence activity is as/when copies are made, otherwise it is unlikely that people will remember what they have photocopied later on. Your licence renewal letters will remind customers to complete the CLA Church Licence report. PPL Church Licence The report required by PPL is a ‘snapshot’ of estimated music use throughout the year. It should ideally be completed towards the end of your licence period, providing CCLI with a summary of the music used in that period. Your licence renewal letters will remind customers to complete the PPL Church Licence report.
