This
document, or one like it, will be sent to you before your wedding. You will be asked to have your video
recordist sign it before we can agree to your having a video. You should also read the document
yourselves and make sure you understand the restrictions. Please be aware that there are serious
legal implications for you and the recordist if a video that does not conform
to these rules is shown in public (especially if it ends up on Youve Been
Framed). We are not trying to be
awkward; we want to ensure that both the church and you are kept on the right
side of the law, and also that an over-zealous photographer does not ruin
your day. The fees paid to the church
help pay for the cost of our music copyright licenses. For
current fees, see here (use the Back button on your

recording of the marriage of
At
On
.. This notice
is issued by the incumbent to give permission for recording equipment to be
brought into and used inside the church for the purpose of recording the
above service subject to the following conditions that are in place to
preserve the true character of a church wedding: There
will be only one video camera The
camera will be stationary, on a tripod and set up at the back of the church No
trailing leads, extra microphones or additional lighting are permitted There
will be an additional fee payable to the Parish of South Gillingham If
another organist is playing, then the person paying that organist is
responsible for negotiating an additional fee payable to that organist The
Photographer MUST see the Minister taking the Service beforehand, to confirm
that these instructions are understood and will be followed. The
attention of the recordist is drawn to the following matters: 1. The law of copyright
is complex. It is most important
that neither the incumbent nor the Parochial Church Council has any authority
to give copyright permission for the lawful reproduction or recording of any
work literary or musical which is protected by copyright, or to give
consent on behalf of any performer or person having an exclusive recording
right. 2. Certain blanket
arrangements have been made to facilitate the recording in church of the
texts of the marriage service.
Without prior application having to be made to the copyright owners,
copyright permission, subject to the conditions in paragraph 3, has been
given for the recording on either videotape or audiotape of the following
material: Solemnization
of Matrimony from The Book of Common Prayer 3. The conditions on
which a tape of the material specified in paragraph 2 may be made without
prior application are as follows: a) No rights in the
recording and no copies of it shall be transferred or assigned in
consideration of money or moneys worth i.e. the rights in the recording and
copies shall not be sold commercially except that the original recording and
copies may be sold to the couple who commissioned the recording b) No more than three
copies of the recording shall be made. c) The recording, including
an extract from it, shall not be exhibited in public. 4. The copyright owners
of the material listed in paragraph 2 charge no fee for this permission. 5. These blanket
arrangements and the permission relating to the material specified in paragraph
2 do not extend to any part of the service other than the text of the
authorised service and psalms from the three Psalters. Thus hymns, anthems, additional prayer,
etc. are not covered by these
permissions and it is your responsibility to obtain permission for such other
copyright material which is included in the service. Many of the hymns and / or worship songs
used in the service will be covered by the CCL Licence held by the individual
church, please ask the Organist for information and also for the CCL number
where this is applicable. However, if
popular music or poetry is being used in the service, these are unlikely to
be covered by the License and unless the work is in the Public Domain (i.e.
70 years after the death of the originator) prior permission will be needed
from the owner of the copyright.
Copyright subsists in a work at least until period of 70 years from
the end of the calendar year the end of the calendar year in which the
originator (author, composer, etc.) died.
Where there is doubt whether the material is copyright the publisher
will usually be able to assist. So
far as copyright music and lyrics are concerned detailed advice of aspects of
copyright is available from- Christian Copyright Licensing (Europe) LTD., PO Box 1339,
Eastbourne, East Sussex BN21 1AD
Telephone 01323 417711. I have

specified above. I acknowledge that
the incumbent has not given copyright permission or authorised the recording
of any material or performance that may be protected by law: Date
