Even Churches in the Philippines Speak of Music Copyright

Praise Music Publishing calls on Christian Churches to pay music royalties too. Praise describes itself in its website as follows (emphases mine):

Praise Music Publishing and CopyCare Philippines are Divisions of Praise Incorporated set up in 1996 to begin the groundwork for Music Publishing and Licensing in the Philippine territory. Our administered catalogues include among others “God Is Good”, “There Is None Like You”, “I Will Be Here”, “Shout To The Lord”, “The Warrior Is A Child”, and many thousands more. These copyrights are regularly sung in worship services and other church-related events.

Those songs are indeed popular songs. And churches should pay royalties?

I know you cannot believe it.
