However, all music Publishers desire to have their songs used in as many legal ways as possible; so in most cases,Permission can be Obtained. You must contact the copyrightowner prior to use or duplication.

Steven Curtis Chapman

• “A lot more goes into a CD than it may appear. The price of a CD doesn’t just go back to the record company. Everyone who works with me to record and distribute my music makes a living and supports their families from CD sales as well. It’s a big network of people from my co-producer, the engineers, my band all the way to assembly line people who help to manufacture the CDs and the truck drivers who get them to the stores. There are some new legitimate websites like burnitfurst.com that provide an alternative to illegal burning. I want to encourage my listeners to use sites such as this, and to buy instead of burning illegally. On behalf of the team who works alongside me, we’d appreciate it.”

…WHEN YOU PURCHASE A LEGITIMATE CHRISTIAN CD

• YOU OBEY GOD’S WORD

• YOU STRENGTHEN THE GOSPEL MUSIC INDUSTRY.

• YOU PAY ROYALTIES OR DUES TO THE CHRISTIAN ARTISTS YOU ADMIRE.

• YOU HELP SONGWRITERS CONTINUE TO MAKE A DECENT LIVING.

• YOU HELP MINISTRIES.

• YOU PROVIDE LEGITIMATE JOBS.

Exodus 20:15 … "You shall not steal”

Romans 2:21 ”…You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

SCRIPTURE TO REMEMBER

He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. (Ephesians 4:28)
