Public Domain vs. Copyrighted Christmas Songs
Is it too early to start planning for Christmas? When it comes to copyright clearance – definitely not! It’s about this time every year that we start getting questions from churches about what licensing, if any, is needed to use Christmas music during programs and special events. And while there are many songs you absolutely can use freely; many other Christmas songs, carols, and hymns are copyrighted and require permission.
