Video Agreement
GUIDANCE NOTES Your attention is drawn to the following matters: 1 The law of copyright is complex. It is most important that it is recognised 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 give consent on behalf of any performer or person having an exclusive recording contract. 2 Certain 'blanket' arrangements have been made to facilitate the recording in church of the texts of the marriage/baptism services. 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 Solemnization of Matrimony First Series The Marriage Service in Common Worship Baptism of Infants from The Book of Common Prayer Baptism Second Series The Baptism of Children in Common Worship The Psalter in The Book of Common Prayer The Revised Psalter The Liturgical Psalter 3 The conditions on which a tape of the material specified in paragraph 1 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 money's 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 or parents who commissioned the recording. b) No more than 3 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 anthems. Additional prayers 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. 6 A fee of £30 towards ongoing costs involved in the upkeep and furbishment of the church is payable to the Parochial Church Council for the incumbent's permission to bring into and to use recording equipment inside the church. 7 RSCM (Royal School of Church Music) rules state that the organist's fee should be doubled where a video is involved. 8 You will need to obtain and provide copies of the WVRL (Wedding Video-Recording Licence). Your videographer should have this, but if not, you must make the arrangements yourself through the website www.videolicence.co.uk. The website will allow you to calculate the cost of the licence which depends on: a) What music you record and when b) How many copies of the video you have made It also explains all legal requirements regarding the recording of music at your wedding and at the reception. I have read both sides of this notice. I accept that the incumbent has only given me permission to bring into and to use video equipment inside the church subject to the conditions specified above. I acknowledge that the incumbent has not given copyright permission or authorized the recording of any material or performance which may be protected by law. I enclose a copy of my licence.
