Dear Miranda.<\/p>\n
The Church Copyright Licence (CCL) includes a Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) right which provides the permission to record live music from any meeting for non-commercial use. \u00a0This would therefore provide the provision to record a pianist, singer or choir onto an audio and video recording for others to use for individual practice and\/or group rehearsal. \u00a0Please note that this right does not cover the post production (dubbing) of music from a commercial music recording such as a CD or MP3 for distribution to band members and singers via another media.
