It's not pathetic, it's artists wanting to make a living. It's been a while for me, but the last time I worked for a church the licensing agency (CCLI?) made allowances for copies and media used in worship. The fees were not extravagant.I was referring to completely unrelated music I played over the speakers.
Wait, so every time we use song "X" (lets say once a month), we have to pay a fee? Yes, we have an ASCAP thing, but does that mean every time we use the song we have to pay a fee?
What about worship aids and powerpoints, every time we print it we have to pay a fee? Thats just pathetic.
In the case of church songs, check the artist websites. Many of them provide free media.
