Is it possible to be exempt from copyright law with a public worship service out on the streets?

What if someone performs copyrighted music out on the street with no intention of accepting money, and says it is for a worship service? Does this still infringe copyright law?

All Answers To Questions

Answer 1

Under federal law, "performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work or of a dramatico-musical work of a religious nature, or display of a work, in the course of services at a place of worship or other religious assembly" is exempted from copyright protection. The performance would have to be reasonably limited to those taking part in the religious assembly though.

Answer 2

Yes it does.
