Attorney Josh Bryant Helps Cory and Stephanie Epps Copyright

Cory and Stephanie Epps have released their first Christmas EP called Love Has Come to Save. Church General Counsel managing attorney Josh Bryant was able to walk them through the process of obtaining copyrights on their work. Cory and Stephanie Epps are phenomenally talented, and they wrote one of those songs that tells the entire story of Christmas in a new and refreshing way. It starts before Christ left the bliss of heaven and goes all the way through His ultimate victory on the cross, interspersed with the praise that this loving gift deserves. Bryant has joked that the song is Dove Award worthy. After you listen, we think you'll see it isn't a joke - Cory and Stephanie Epps have written an amazing song about the Love that's come in Jesus' birth. Their arrangement of other Christmas classics don't disappoint either.

Churches do things like this all the time, and while no musician or pastor should get greedy with what they create, the pastoral process is inherently creative. Whether you are preparing a sermon, creating graphics, or writing a Dove-worthy Christmas song, you should take steps to protect the integrity of your intellectual property. Monetizing your intellectual property is not inherently greedy. It is a means by which God can provide for your family or church, perpetuate His work from a financial standpoint, and otherwise extend the reach and influence of your work. Managing Attorney Josh Bryant has experience in several aspects of intellectual property law, including copyright, trademark, and other areas that generally don't apply to churches. The intellectual property services he offers are all part of the monthly subscription service churches use to retain Josh Bryant or other attorneys through Church General Counsel. Pastors and musicians can get intellectual property and other assistance independent of their churches at www.josh-bryant.com.
