29 “Vocationally speaking, if we say
that the gifts God has given to you lead to how you live out your life in the world, those gifts are legiti- mate,” Rundman said. “Whether you are living out your vocation as a bus driver, teacher or musician, you deserve to be paid. From the Lutheran perspective, all those jobs
What congregations can do
• Plan worship services far in advance to ensure time to obtain necessary permissions. • Purchase licenses for the use of all print material, video projection and performances. • Check to make sure the things you want to use for worship or special events are covered by your licenses. • When in doubt, check with the rights holder. Pages 1172-1173 of Evan- gelical Lutheran Worship offer a list of copyright holders. Still unsure? Contact Michael Moore, copyright administrator at Augsburg Fortress.

are holy vocations. As Lutherans we owe it to our neighbor to support them in their vocation in order to give them dignity.” Copyright violations occur in congregations, he said, and people don’t consider they might be violat- ing someone’s vocation. Both Moore and Seltz know of
congregations that have been pros- ecuted for copyright violation. “The best known case involved a multimillion-dollar settlement with the (Roman Catholic) Archdiocese of Chicago, which was prosecuted for illegal copying carried out by some of its parishes,” Seltz said. The person in a congregation
who might have violated someone’s copyright may not be able to be identified, but if you’ve got a stack of illegally copied choir music sit- ting in the music room, the congre- gation is liable. While who within the congregation is held liable may differ from state-to-state, the con- gregational council is the governing board for the corporation. Fines can start at $200 per copy infringement, if the congregation is cooperative, and drastically increase if the congregation isn’t cooperative. Yes, per copy—per- haps enough to send choir directors scurrying to their file cabinets and bookshelves.
Need to know definitions
• Fair use: Material used for educational purposes often falls under fair use. However, your use is affected by the work and the amount of material used. “If you use more than 10 per-
cent of a publication, you have a problem,” said Michael Moore, copyright administrator for Augsburg Fortress. • Public domain: Out of print doesn’t mean a work is in the public domain. Generally any- thing created prior to 1923 is in the public domain. From 1923 to 1978 it doesn’t enter public domain until 95 years from the date of creation. From 1979 on the copyright is in effect for the life of the longest surviving author plus 70 years.
