Music & Copyright

Music
Copyright issues still apply. Live or recorded music must be played off the original source. Our organists are Valerie (02 4928 1510) and Helen (02 4955 5203). If you would like to use one of our organists, please phone her and organise your music at least three months before your wedding.

Copyright
This information is very important!

The law requires that music entitled to royalties receive those royalties. Music that is less than 25 years old generally receives royalties. This means that videoing the service without a special licence is not allowed. You can buy one to five non-professional licences for about $50 from AMCOS (02 9935 7700). The licence must be shown to the priest before the service starts.

Acknowledgement of Copyright
This is very important. If you would like to copy out all of the service for your booklets, you must include the following acknowledgement:

"Copyright 1995, the Anglican Church of Aust. Trust Corporation From the text of
‘A Prayer Book for Australia’ Published under the Imprint of Broughton Books.
