RE: Differing? copyright treatments of copyrighted information quoted in a sermon

Differences:
As I understand the complicated rules of 17 USC Copyright, DMCA & 18USC2319:

1) Authorship must first take place, then,
2) Authorships creativity must become placed into form.
3) Copyright occurs at the instance authorship is placed into form.
4) Registration occurs with submission, payment and approval by LoC/CO

Where the sermon is preached (spoken) it is without physical form. The content of the sermon at this point is immaterial. If according to the information provided, 'the copyrighted quotations' would not change, they would remain copyrighted and,
 because they are being "quoted" that suggests attribution and thus I would conclude would be authorized irrespective of CD's; Audio Cassettes; Video or other forms into which they could windup whether for sale, give-away or distribution over the InterNet.

Effect would remain the same as with any authorship except that permission to use a quotation may not be withheld provided attribution is applied.

The above is from a NON-Lawyer yet derived from my understandings associated with this discussion group, so where you attorneys are concerned, please feel free to supply corrections where errors of understanding may be present.

  What are the differences (if any) in the treatment of copyrighted information (from a book, etc.) quoted in a sermon in the following contexts:

1. The sermon is preached in a church worship service.
2. The sermon audio is recorded onto audio cassettes or audio (or MP3) CDs:
3. for giving away
4. for sale
5. The sermon audio is broadcast or made available for download via the Internet.

  Does DMCA effect this?

  Thanks for any information you can provide.
