Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question. If a church podcasts its services,
do they owe anyone anything? There are no revenues generated (the usual
measure for ASCAP and BMI payments).

The best answer is...it depends. If the music is old enough to be in
public domain, then don't worry. If you get persimmion from the
rights holder, then you don't have to worry. ASCAP/BMI doesn't care
if you make money doing it or not.

Are you likely to get into trouble...probably not.

Our church podcasts (or is trying) its service, but I think they are
only doing the sermon for now.
