Copyright

There is a certain irony that whilst we enjoy the freedom to worship, we are not always able to undertake our various worship-related activities free of charge.

Copyright protects the songs we sing, the sound recordings we play, the films we watch, the text and pictures in books and magazines. In fact when using the many resources we rely upon we often unwittingly find ourselves infringing copyright laws put in place to protect the rights of the authors, writers, film producers and composers whose work we wish to use.
