I mean, wouldn't it be in the interest of spreading-the-good-news if we make the worship music that inspires us and connects us with God, as accessible as possible to everyone in the world? The sheet music provided by that website isn't even really Free, as far as I can tell -- you're restricted from making your own copies of it or sending them to people where it might be more convenient than instructing them to download the songs themselves (ex. for people with no/slow internet access, or if/when the site becomes unavailable). I would prefer for worship to blossom openly and freely from our passion for it, rather than through business incentives centred around the idea of restricting distribution of a work (ex. copyright). Not that there's anything wrong with having financial needs, but I'm uncomfortable where there's a conflict between a business model vs. our freedom to share His glory as much as possible. but let me know if I'm mistaken or just sounding crazy :) Shouldn’t all worship be free?
