    Likewise, do we secure permission/license from Hillsong, Planetshakers, etc when we sing them at church?

    From what I know, based on reading and research, all churches must secure a permission first before even singing the songs in church services. That is for licenses in the traditional “All Rights Reserved” copyright license.

    As far as the traditional license is concerned, singing it in churches falls under public performance, and as such a written permission should be acquired first lest the “Christian” church violates the International Copyright Law.

    Some countries explicitly allows exemption if the song is used in an “act of worship”, I am not sure if the Philippine Copyright Law have that exemption.

    There is another music license created for Christian songs but it isn't popular in the Philippines. It adds a clause giving churches the freedom to use it in services without the need to ask for a written permission.

    Copyright is not easy to understand. For us Christians, the concept of “why prevent churches from singing songs to God? Songs that God more likely than not, put in the minds of the authors?” Correct?

    That's why other licenses are available, personally, I prefer Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license (CC By-NC-SA). (Some use CC By-NC-ND [ND - No Derivatives]).
