FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE….
March 2, 2011, PORTLAND, OR, USA … Christian Copyright Licensing International, Inc. (CCLI) announced the launch of the Church Streaming & Podcast License, providing legal coverage for churches to stream or podcast their live-recorded worship music.
“We are very excited to bring this wonderful new resource to the churches,” said Howard Rachinski, President/CEO of CCLI. “As more churches are streaming and podcasting the pastor’s message over the internet, this very affordable license will now allow them to include songs in their webcast worship service as well.”
The new license is available to active CCLI Church Copyright License holders in the United States and Canada. Currently, over 155,000 churches across North America have a Church Copyright License, which allows them to legally copy, store and project songs, to assist with congregational singing within the church’s worship service. The Church Copyright License does not include broadcast rights, but the new CCLI Streaming & Podcast License will allow churches to webcast those same songs. CCLI represents over 3,000 church music publishers and over 200,000 songs.
More information is available at www.ccli.com/streaming.
Based in Portland, Oregon, CCLI also has regional offices in Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil. Globally, CCLI provides license and resource services to over 200,000 churches, schools and ministries.
It’s the perfect solution. Simple. Affordable. And the right thing to do.
