Church Copyright Podcast

This podcast features things you may never have thought or heard about. Most likely, there are several copyright infringements going on in your church.

Here are a couple of examples that you will hear on the podcast:

- If you record your worship services and sell them, you must have a license to do so, otherwise you are breaking the law.

- It is illegal to have pirated software, that’s why I recommend Open Source software since it is free and morally right.

Understand where you stand with the law.  Use this podcast as a wakeup call to your church staff.  Educate them, and then implement a global media policy, then stick to it.  I have implemented one at our church.  We do not surf google or yahoo to find images for our screen ministry, we purchase photos now on a weekly basis for $1-$2/image.  I have installed open source software on computers that do not have proper software licensing for mainstream retail software.

Please do yourself a favor, protect your church from lawsuits!
