Copyright License Information

Important Note.  There are a few copyrighted songs on these Christmas CDs.  To use these legally, we have bought the mechanical licenses for the use of those songs on a set maximum number of CDs. 

If you find yourself in a similar situation and need help with using copyrighted music, we suggest that you go to www.ascap.com, and www.bmi.com and search their title dabases for contact information for the copyright holder of each song,  and then consult those agencies for mechanical license purchasing instructions. 

Note that we chose not to buy CV licenses for the copyrighted samples.  My understanding is that the CV license would have allowed us to put those samples on the web.  But I do not know how to keep a record of the number of times each song was played or downloaded.  Whether or not all this is correct I do not know.  It just seemed simpler to avoid the problem altogether.
