Recently, my church became more involved in media ministry. One project we are currently pursuing is the production of various promotional videos for various ministry endeavors.
My question is regarding the use of music and audio within the videos. Some have expressed interest of using short clips of our choirs, special singing, etc. within the overall promotional production. What are the copyright stipulations regarding utilizing music when sang by one's own people?
For instance: Lets say my church choir sings a worship song that is still under copyright. How much (if any) of the choir's singing can we use under Fair Use policy?
Thanks for the help!
