Default Church Music Copyright Lyrics

What if a church bought a CD of 18 songs, plays one song, displays on the screen the song name, the author, and the lyrics for congregational singing. Does that infringe on copyright laws?

I'm not sure about the laws now, but even if you read the copyright info on a DVD the infringement is that you cannot show it to a group of people and charge money for them to see or hear it....that includes solicitng advertising to show it.

My knowledge on this is a bit rusty so someone else may know better or just type 'copyright infringement' in your browser and I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for.

I think just sharing the music *can* be prosecuted...whether they would do it to a church...
...how much money does your church have?

"Sharing" would be making a copy and handing it out to someone. I think he's just talking about showing it on a screen to people.

We are not selling it or copying the music. No money is being made from it.
