Which rights does a CCLI license cover in the context of church music use?

• A. Film distribution rights
• B. Reproduction and live performance rights for songs in services
• C. Streaming platform sublicensing rights
• D. Merchandise rights

Answer: (B)

A CCLI license is about allowing a church to use songs in worship by granting two main rights: reproducing the song for use in services (like printing lyric sheets or displaying lyrics on screens) and publicly performing the songs during the service. This is why the correct choice focuses on reproduction and live performance rights for songs in services. The license does not cover other activities such as film distribution rights, streaming platform sublicensing, or rights to merchandise—those would require additional licenses or agreements. If you later want to stream the service or sell products with song lyrics, you’d need the appropriate extra licenses or permissions.
