Do you photocopy or print music?

Were you aware that making a photocopy or printing of a song's lyrics, without the permission of the songwriter, is a breach of the Copyright Act, and could make a church vulnerable to legal action?

It's true. Churches are not exempt from any aspect of the Australian Copyright Act 1968, which means that the simple act of making copies of songs for your choir or musicians could be putting your church at risk if you do it without a proper licence.
