What's The Big Deal?
Most of us fast-forward right through that FBI warning at the beginning of videos and DVDs. Ever wonder what it actually says? The Federal Copyright Act of 1976 stipulates that pre-recorded videocassettes and DVDs are authorized for personal home use only. Special permission must be granted for any public performance—and that includes churches. Violations can result in substantial fines, up to $30,000 per infringement. |
The Church Video License
Now, there's an affordable, convenient solution.
Christian Copyright Licensing, Inc. (CCLI) and Motion
Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC) have partnered
to create Christian Video Licensing International (CVLI)
and the Church Video License, which offers blanket copyright
coverage for video titles from more than 90 producers. |
