[ale] [EXTERNAL] Re: Fair Use question

[Jerald Sheets]

I’m grateful for the CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing Institute).  They collect dues and distribute monies to artists and labels based on music usage. They offer a license for use, duplication, performance, and streaming and then set pricing based on church size or “reach”.  I pay those fees every year.

I’ll look and see if they cover instructional materials.
