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.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SOTERIA:WMD? "A site I will be visiting again" "This is not Simon Cowell does Christian music. This is simply beautiful."
"They appear to go beyond "nice" Christian venues" "Lovely people at Soteria Music"
"Dude, that was a good post. Lovin your blog like crazy."

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.
