Nope. We've actually looked into this. When we first started recording our services professionally, we wanted to do it right. We had to get the right lighting, update sound equipment, etc. We also had to purchase a licence to be able to stream and record our services. We renew the licence on a yearly basis. If we did not have the licence we could get sued by the original artist of a song we might do. We also have to have a licence to project lyrics of the songs on the walls. (Over the years it's become quite alarming how many churches are still doing all of this illegally without a licence.)
As far as an individual suing a church over privacy issues, what goes on in a service that could be considered private? Besides, there's scripture in the bible about suing the church or anybody in the church. Here's an example.
1 Corinthians 6:1-8
