Company’s Suite Of Service Offerings, Including Its Limelight and MySpark Copyright Online Utilities, Recognized

NEW YORK, NY (October 7, 2011) RightsFlow, a leading licensing and royalty service provider, announced today that the company has been selected as one of Worship Leader magazine’s “Best of the Best” in the Licensing Resources category for 2011. Yearly, Worship Leader surveys worship leaders and media teams around the world, sifting through myriad suggestions from the leaders in worship and worship technology to come up with 7 groupings, 38 categories with 5 -15 items in each list.

Worship Leader’s eagerly awaited guide to the best of the best in the world of worship will be available October 7, 2011 by subscription, at newsstands, and for downloadable purchase. The “Best of the Best” is a vital directory of everything from the best music resources to the ultimate software, visual and presentation technology, worship training, musical instruments, apps, sound and recording equipment, books and devotionals to the leading products in lighting, screens and projectors—from In-Ear monitors, to stage risers, room dividers to digital page turners and more.

Chris Lydle, RightsFlow Vice President of Sales and Marketing, noted, “We’re very grateful for the response, recognition and support from Worship Leader and the community. Our online mechanical licensing utility Limelight (songclearance.com) and our copyright registration service MySpark (mysparkcopyright.com) help simplify licensing and registration complexities respectively for musicians, choirs, worship teams, ministers and other creators. We’re proud to serve and to be included in this esteemed list.”

The annual October collection of the top recommended worship essentials has become an indispensable tool for pastors, worship leaders, media teams, worship teams and the sound tech saving them all both time and money as they process and make key decisions about resource allocation.

“With the abundance of worship-related products now available, knowing how to make the best choices for your church, based on size, budget and church orientation can leave those ‘in charge’ overwhelmed,” explains Jeremy Armstrong, Worship Leader’s managing editor. Detailing the issue’s history, he says, “It has evolved from a general buyer’s guide and bonus issue to one of the year’s central issues for Worship Leader and most back-ordered.”

Daniele Kimes, VP of Sales and Marketing, adds, “It is always my goal to connect our readers with the resources and tools that best equip them to do their job and serve their congregation. The Best of the Best issue provides them with a comprehensive overview of those tools and has become an issue they continue to rely on to make key purchase decisions.”

RightsFlow is one of the leading experts in mechanical licensing, simplifying how rights holders get paid. As new methods of consuming music have emerged the company has quickly become a pioneer in solving the complex issues of copyright compliance with service offerings that are widely being adopted by artists, labels, distributors, and global entertainment businesses.
