[CS-FSLUG] open source worship songs

[Yama Ploskonka]

I'm afraid, Chris, that it ain't so.  Churches have to pay baksheesh or 
squeeze money to somebody every year.  It's not that much (like $500 - 
$900), but it's there.  And that is only for live, church performances. 
  My church has stopped posting sermons on the internet because 
sometimes they had music on them - some brave soul convinced them they 
would roast for eternity if they didn't desist.  Camps have been sued 
(successfully) for printing songs in camp songbooks.

I say, that's great.  The uglier those guys are, the more righteous 
indignation us in the Libre community can raise from others, as we show 
our whiteness as lambs and our condition of former victims of abusive 
persecution.
