The benefit to your church

A separate right exists in the typography of most digital and printed documents. This means that permission is required to photocopy typeset pages even if the song you wish to reproduce is no longer in copyright. The Music Reproduction Licence enables you to legally copy pages from the songbooks and music publications commonly used by churches.

Music Reproduction Licence Q&A

Are all songbooks and music publications covered?

The CCLI Music Reproduction Licence covers a huge range of songbooks and music publications. To confirm if a publication is covered check the Authorised Publications in our Copyright Owners Lists.

How many copies we can make?

The number of copies you make depends on your licence size category. For example, a category B size church (50-99) can make up to 99 copies of any section of a publication under their licence.

Do we need to report which publications we’ve copied from?

Yes. Please report all publications you copy from on an ongoing basis. This is simple to do via CCLI’s Reporting website.

You may find it helpful to print out our Copy Prompt Sheet and place this close to your photocopier.

Can we keep copies we’ve made if we no longer hold the licence?

You may keep copies only while your licence is active. If your licence expires, you should destroy or delete any copies made under the licence.

Can we make an enlarged copy of song words or sheet music for someone with a visual impairment?

If there is no published version available then an enlargement can be made under the UK Copyright (Visually Impaired Persons) Act 2002. No specific licence is necessary.
