Breaker Rock Beach VBS 2024 Update

Breaker Rock Beach VBS 2024 Update

As you may have noticed, our uploads of the songs from "Breaker Rock Beach VBS 2024" have been removed. We have received an email from Lifeway asking us to remove the songs and not post VBS songs until they are no longer for sale.

Before getting into any information, does Lifeway have the right to do this? In short, yes, but should they only request some channels to remove videos and allegedly turn a blind eye to others? I think no.

The following details made us think it was okay to post the songs.

(Note: None of the following was said by Lifeway or anyone at Lifeway; this is our opinion.)

1. The songs, when posted to YouTube, get copyright claims from Lifeway Kids. (Also, allegedly, Lifeway themselves set it up this way instead of blocking the songs.) Meaning Lifeway makes any ad revenue from our posts of the songs, so we are not making Lifeway lose out on any revenue, and we are making no revenue from the songs ourselves; we just do it for the leaders and kids.

2. We made it clear that our posts were not for production use by putting "This content is uploaded for personal use only. If you would like to use the content from our videos in a production environment, please contact the original copyright owner," and it is not possible to download our videos, so we are not making them lose any sales of VBS material.

3. There are tons of posts of Lifeway songs on YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc. that seem to still be allowed, even though they are allegedly not allowed.

Lastly, if you are a leader or kid, please go and buy the music from Lifeway at the website below so that you can practice it.
