The printing/projection of words to be used for congregational singing is illegal without including the copyright notice as indicated above. Most Jubilate Music Group anthems which have opt. congregational involvement include a separate congregational page for reproduction purposes, which includes the proper copyright notice.  Otherwise, all products include a proper copyright notice.

However, under no circumstance do the CCLI or One License licenses provide for photocopying choral music.

Likewise for streaming and podcasts of our copyrights, if your church also possesses a CCLI or One License podcast/streaming license, the activities of streaming and/or podcasting our copyrights come under those licenses, as long as the usage(s) are within the context of worship. If your desired usage falls outside of that context, please contact us for a proper license.  Schools can contact School Music License for licensing options.
