Copyright Licensing

Copyright matters. Our licences make it simple

The internet and digital revolution have made access to a vast range of creative works quick and easy. But the issues related to copyright are complicated, and legal compliance can be confusing. CCLI is here to help make it simple. Our licences are tailored to the needs of churches, schools, and ministries, enabling the fair and legal use of creative works while saving valuable administrative time, effort, and expense.
