I think your problem will be that CCLI is good enough for most people. It would be like producing Creative Commons videos because you can't get Netflix or Youtube. Sure, it will help you and people in your situation...but most of the world already has easy access. I found this bit from Wikipedia interesting: > CCLI has expanded around the world to Australia, Botswana, Canada, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, South Korea and as of 2016 can now serve most countries. That's a few countries, and covers most of the big English-speaking ones (yes, India and China are not on the list and have more English speakers than many of the smaller countries) but in what way is that "most countries"?

In 2016, CCLI updated their agreements to allow "most countries" "Our new agreements with the song owners now enable CCLI to make its resources available to churches in every country."

  Instead of taking that quote out of context, here's the rest. "Our new agreements with the song owners now enable CCLI to make its resources available to churches in every country. We are currently developing our website to accommodate servicing churches everywhere. And, we anticipate having CCLI Service Centers in India and China over the next several years." What it means is "in every country [where CCLI operates]". There is no CCLI in India or China yet, and no plans for Taiwan (Taiwan is not China! But that's another debate.)

    > Instead of taking that quote out of context, here's the rest. I don't think my quote is out of context. > What it means is "in every country [where CCLI operates]". The second sentence in your quote references the __websites__ ability to service churches in every country. The new agreement allows CCLI to operate in EVERY country, even if CCLI does not YET operate there. That means when CCLI is ready to operate in a new country the new agreement will allow them to do this.
