The five questions we hear the most
At CCLI we are asked lots of interesting questions about copyright law and the coverage we provide. After all, CCLI provides licensing for more than 235,000 churches, schools, and ministries worldwide! However, some questions come up time and again. Here are answers to the ones that come up most.
Top 5 Q&A
It's a requirement in the terms of our licences is that your church reports your copy activity. It’s now possible to report automatically via participating church presentation and planning software. You can also report manually on our reporting website which only takes a few minutes if updated regularly. If reporting manually, we recommend reporting weekly, or whenever you use songs or make copies under your licence.
Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of reports that we receive, CCLI cannot process reports in any other form to those above.
Why is reporting important?
Reporting enables CCLI to accurately and fairly distribute royalty revenue to the song owners, and so is a vital part of being a licence holder. By reporting you are blessing the songwriters whose songs have blessed your ministry, and it can make a real difference.
