Choosing music for worship is a rewarding
experience. Creating service bulletins and worship aids is somewhat
less so, and acquiring copyright permission and reporting usage
can be a real chore, to say nothing about the confusion which frequently
accompanies the task. If you find dealing with copyright permissions
to be puzzling, or just time-consuming, it’s OneLicense.net
to the rescue!
Comprehensive, Convenient, Cost-effective
Using OneLicense gives you
access to the congregational hymns, songs and service music of today’s
top church music publishers—all for one yearly fee! Our list
of publisher members is growing and as new publishers become OneLicense.net
members, you will immediately have access to their catalogs
so long as your license is in force.
The cost of a OneLicense is equitably and fairly based upon the
average weekly attendance of your congregation. The yearly cost
ranges from $50.00 per year for average weekly attendance of 25
members to $800.00 annually for average weekly attendance of 20,000
members or more. Single use licenses range from $25 to $60, and
event licenses begin at $35 and extend up to $275 for a really
large convention.
Simply stated …
- It’s comprehensive—the list of leading publishers of church music is long and growing every day. You send no more multiple letters or phone calls to individual publishers.
- It’s convenient—on-line reporting is the quickest way to inform the publishers of the titles you’ve reprinted.
- It’s cost-effective—an annual license that combines the catalogs of your favorite publishers is far less expensive than obtaining permission from each individual publisher. OneLicense.net is an internet based service with no paper reports to fill out or mail. Reporting takes mere minutes per month.
It's easy …
- Log in with email and password.
- Choose the week you wish to report. (Our week runs from Thursday through Wednesday, in order to keep each entire weekend within the same report.)
- Follow the prompts to report your reprints. Most of the songs you use will already be in the OneLicense database, allowing you to click and report. If they are not found there, you simply type in the information, and it will be there forever after.
