- It allows you to share this information, such as poetry or readings etc with the network and store materials for future use.
- It also removes the need to contact the copyright owners each and every time you wish to reproduce or copy their works.

The network licence removes the need to seek direct permission from the copyright owner each time you wish to copy, download or reproduce and hand out their works.
* what about music ?
Music is not covered by this licence (if you wish to play music, you should contact APRA).
* what about lyrics ?
The copying of lyrics is permitted under this licence.
* when I used copyrighted material, how do I show that I am using someone's work ?
The statement “Copyright Agency Limited – Licensed Copy” should be placed on works to show they have been legally sourced and shared.
* does this licence only cover Australian material ?
No. The licence covers a worldwide repertoire, with only The Australian Hymn Book Companies works being excluded.
* how does the author or publisher benefit from this licence, if we don't contact them ?
CAL does surveys year round to find out which materials or works are being copied. We collect this information in order to provide the authors and publishers with their royalties from the fees paid by licensees.
* will the celebrant be personally audited ?
No, individual celebrants will not be asked to participate in the survey. CAL may ask the network to provide a list of posted materials from its Forum site in order to pay fees back to CAL's members, but individual celebrants will not be asked to take part in the survey process.
* does this cover sending a poem by email to a couple or family ?
A celebrant may send a poem to a client for their viewing for inclusion in a ceremony, however the client must not make any further reproductions of the material as they are not covered under the licence.
