Frequently Asked Questions

WHO IS SOTERIA?
Soteria is a non-profit making Christian organisation. Our current projects include the Soteria Youth Magazine (soteriamag.co.uk) and the Worship Music Division (soteriamusic.co.uk).

WHAT DOES SOTERIA STAND FOR?
Soteria wants to spread the Word about Jesus Christ. How He gave His life in order to save us from the punishment of our own wrong doing. To this end the Soteria team is a group of unpaid dedicated young people who use the magazine, the websites, music, and even the shirts on our backs to speak out about the Lord Jesus.

CAN I SHARE COPIES OF SOTERIA:WMD MUSIC MP3s TO MY FRIENDS?
Yes! Soteria:WMD is pioneering a revolutionary way of distributing its music. In addition to the usual rights and laws surrounding copyright, we are going to make the following totally legal; you can share downloaded MP3 files with your friends. However this is done only on the understanding that you will not take payment for sharing, you will not claim it to be your own work, and/or you will not re-publish it to any internet site, blog or file-sharing system. However if, for example, you have a Soteria MP3 on your laptop that you have downloaded from this site; and you wanted to copy it to your friends iPod, (an action banned by the rest of the music industry), this would be acceptable.

WHY IS SOTERIA:WMD DOING THIS LEGAL SHARING SCHEME?
We are making this new scheme of legal coping for the one reason, that we want the Word of God spread to all people. This is our concession to helping that cause. However Soteria:WMD does not authorise or condone music piracy. God Himself said through the Bible that the workman is worth his wages, and therefore it is right and proper to pay for downloaded music and produced CDs.

HAPPENING WITH THE CDS & SHEET MUSIC THEN?
All the usual rights of artwork, (coping, hiring, lending etc.), will be reserved in the normal way. The only difference to our copyright strategy is the one that states you are allowed to copy downloaded the free sample MP3 tracks to a friend's device. See the "Legal Information" page (the link to this page is at the bottom of the menu) for full details.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THIS SCHEME. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO GET CLARIFICATION?

Contacting the WMD team is very easy. Just click the "Contact Us" link on the left and fill out the form. This will send you message to us as an email and we'll get right back to you.
