Does this mean that every Livestream requires a "program" of sorts in the video/audio description?as long as you provide the appropriate acknowledgement
However we bought a church full of hymnals....
3. If you do livestream, use only public domain music, which would necessitate only singing Mass parts in Latin.
This is false. There are plenty of other things that are PD or permitted free usage.
Yes, yes, and more yes.In my opinion, the words of the Missal, scripture translations and any other official liturgical texts should be placed under Creative Commons. That still protects the texts from unauthorized changes, etc. but it allows the Church to use the texts without having to pay for them.
Has anyone ever tried it out? Would be worth the case...it's unlikely that the USCCB or ICEL would sue a parish for livestreaming Mass without first seeking permission to do so, but it is possible according to the letter of the law
Not necessarily, they could publish the music for free and give it a footnote:Lumen Christi [...] now that they are using the Abbey Psalms which are owned by the USBBC they have to put them behind a paywall
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature - and have them pay you a copyright fee for subsequent usebut for Mass, one is bound to use only the approved translations in the Missal which are copyrighted
they could publish the music for free and give it a footnote:
Psalm xxx, English translation (c) USCCB.
