Material on our site which does not have a copyright notice may be considered in the public domain. You may post our public domain MIDI files, scores, pictures, etc. on another Web site, provided you attribute them to NetHymnal & include a link to http://www.nethymnal.org.
The design & HTML code of our Web pages are copyrighted, & may not be reproduced. Other copyrighted material is clearly marked as such, & is subject to the usual, unfortunate, legal restrictions.
The site name is trademarked to protect our continued ability to use it, since some unethical people have created links with NetHymnal name that lead to other sites.
We have tried to be extremely careful to include only material:
In some cases, we could not fully trace the origin of a hymn, but due to its source, it is believed to be in the public domain. If we have inadvertently included a work with a copyright still in force, let us know & we will remove it immediately. If any copyright infringement has occurred, it was unintentional. This site’s purpose is to provide a worship and teaching resource, and help advance God’s kingdom.
To repeat: Please do not download or reproduce any material with a copyright notice, unless the notice grants permission to do so. However, the vast majority of the material in NetHymnal is in the public domain, so enjoy!
