Ask the Expert - Copyright and Licensing Songs

By Andy | March 3, 2009

Sharon Tedford, a Musicademy student, asked for some advice on copyright and licensing. She says:

“I’ve written some songs and have been reading up on the CCLI website about copyright and they say:
CCLI does not ‘copyright’ songs as such, nor do we provide any form of copyright ‘protection’. It is our understanding that copyright within the UK is automatic.This means that as soon as you put your work in a tangible format (e.g. written words/music or an audio recording) the copyright belongs to you. You do not have to register your songs with any kind of authority in order for them to be protected.

Is it possible that things are different in the world of UK Christian music and the world of US Christian music? Is there something else I should be doing in addition to; mailing myself a copy by registered post and getting an MCPS/PRS license?” Read More »

Ask The Expert - T-Loop Feedback Whistles

By Tim | January 16, 2009

Jon Foyle asked this question:

Our church has a t-loop and we often find that the guitar amps for the music band pick up signals from the sound system that can lead to feedback whistles. We have tried placing the amps off the ground but it is unfortunate that the area that the band sets up seems to be very close to the t-loop path in the floor. Is there any way we can screen the amps from the t-loop signals? The only solution we have found so far is to turn off the amp mix to the t-loop circuit. Read More »
