| "I never realised the importance that CCLI plays within the music/worship industry. CCLI play a key part in uniting people from different church backgrounds to be focused on doing the legal stuff correctly, with excellent support staff and building a future of togetherness." | | ~ Sheldon Kidwell - Worship Leader |

 Music Reproduction Licence
Ten reasons why you want to photocopy hymn and worship song books
- "It's more convenient to make a photocopy when we need to use a song."
- "We can't afford to buy songbooks for every musician."
- "There is often not enough time to purchase additional songbooks when we need to use a song."
- "We want to compile plastic folders, with songs in the order of service, for each musician."
- "We can't afford to buy every new songbook published just for the few new songs we need. Every new songbook repeats lots of songs we already have."
- "The songs we want to use in our service come from a range of books - too many to handle."
- "The songbook is out of print."
- "We don't have easy access to book shops selling Christian songbooks."
- "We only need to copy the music to learn the song, and then we throw it away."
- "It's uncomfortable for us knowing that we're making illegal photocopies, but permission to photocopy songs takes too long to arrange. What can we do?"
Copyright compliance is not an option, even for churches, so how can we legally photocopy the music you need for your musicians and your church?
Churches and schools making photocopies of published music and words unknowingly erode the very heart of this resource forcing the price of legal editions higher. The Music Reproduction Licence provides a simple, affordable, instant and legal solution to the problems of photocopying the music and words of thousands of hymns and worship songs from published books.
What can I use my Music Reproduction Licence for?
Photocopy from publication when the song owner is on the Authorised Catalogue List and whose publications are on the Authorised Publishers List.
Reduces Delays
No need to wait for copies to appear at the post office or music store.
It's easy
You purchase only one original and you can make multiple copies.
It's affordable
You pay an annual fee based on your estimate of copies made. At the end of the year, the amount is adjusted according to actual usage.
It's ethical and legal.
Enlarges the range of your music.
How is the Music Reproduction Licence different to the Church Copyright Licence?
The Church Copyright Licence is for reproduction for congregational worship such as bulletins, overhead transparencies etc. The Music Reproduction Licence allows you to make multiple copies of music for musicians and singers.
What are my responsibilities with the Music Reproduction Licence?
- You must cross-check all music to be copied to ensure it is covered by the Licence. For each piece of music to be copied, the song must be on the Authorised Song List and also on the Authorised Catalogue List.
- Must own an original of the music from which you wish to make copies.
- Mail in a completed Music Reproduction Worksheet every twelve months listing the copies made during that period.
- Your church must have a current Church Copyright Licence for the Music Reproduction Licence to be valid.
