If you’re like me, then you’ve been stressed out a time or two over the administrative side of songwriting, music making, and…

…copyright compliance.

Perhaps you’ve wondered about how to get permission to do an amazing cover for YouTube, or even a desire to release some cover songs and not worry about digital distribution.

If you’re a worship leader who writes songs for your church, and even a handful of other churches are doing your songs, you’ve probably had the thought of getting those songs registered with CCLI.

Copyrights, licensing, and publishing, can be incredibly complicated this day and age, and it’s more important than ever to do things right.

In session 25 of the podcast, I share with you an interview I had with Susan Fontaine Godwin, founder and CEO of Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS).

CCS is an amazing company and online service helping churches and artists everywhere. Understanding copyright is a very important piece of the puzzle – especially if you’re an artist looking to build a small business as an indie musician.
