Are congregational songs protected under copyright laws?


If we use an Overhead Projector to show the words of a song that we are singing at church is that violating a copyright law?

Although I understand what your saying - what you think of as a congregational song could be copy written song. I think of songs in the hymnal in my church. You should be OK to copy and distribute as well as show it using a projector. Just not to record it and distribute that recording. You can look up a songs copyright to see how the artist allows the song to be used.

What a despicable liar McCain is, would you like to see Obama’s $3 Million "overhead projector?"?

Pitiful how Republicans try to spin something good into something evil.

Would this be overloading power sockets?


I’m in the UK. One room, on one side of the room is 2 wall sockets, same on the other side, using all four plugs for:
400W Overhead Projector (used as a homemade video projector with an LCD),
15inch LCD monitor (backlight removed as it the LCD is on the projector, maybe having the backlight removed means less power consumption?),
a Desktop PC with 400W Power Supply (which would also be powering 2 x 12V DC 80mm cooling fans for cooling the LCD display on the projector), 48W Stereo Speakers.

The flat is above a newsagents shop in a block of shops/flats incase it makes any difference.

i have one single socket in my room, plugged into that is a 50" LCD tv, a desktop pcomputer, sky digital, a suround sound system, dvd player, games console,i regually have all these on, im sure you will be ok
