Movie / Music License:
The CVLI - Christian Video Licensing International is a branch of Motion Picture Licensing Corporation and directly related to CCLI. CCLI is the company started by a former local church music director in Oregon that for 20 years has made it easy and financially reasonable to use copyrighted music in churches.  CVLI does much the same thing with movies, including productions from a lot of the Hollywood studios. It is against copyright law to use movies in most situations in churches because it is considered public performance. If you are using movie clips in worship services or showing full length movies to youth groups or other groups, the better part of wisdom, not to say anything about ethical responsibility, says you should get an annual CVLI license.  The cost is very reasonable and is a sliding scale based on the size of your congregation.  My church has had both a CCLI and CVLI license for three plus years – ever since we began a weekly casual worship service where we are projecting movies and hymn lyrics on a screen.  You can find out more about CCLI at www.ccli.com.  To get info about CVLI go to  http://www.mplc.com/index2.htm
