Copyright Permission Letter

Copyright Permission letter


As we are choosing to use a copyrighted song, we have to gain permission from the record label.Through this process I have learnt the importance of gaining copy right permission before using a form of media for educational purposes. Copyright is in place to stop ,any body other than the artist, gaining profit from their material. We decided it would be beneficial to gain this permission from Sony Music and reference the artist and song we would like to use as we are not the original creators of this song and we want to make sure all credit goes to Sony Music. Below is the letter that I wrote to send to SME to gain this permission.

Dear Mr. Morris,
                                    Our names are Faye Curry, Kala Hill and Georgia Pearce and we are currently studying A-level media at Swakeleys Sixth Form. Part of our coursework is to create a music video and we would love to use a song by Little Mix, which are one of your artists that you represent. Therefore we are writing to ask for your permission to use their most recent song ‘Move’ as a backing track for our project.

This video will be for educational purposes only and we will not be gaining any credit from it; all copyright credit will go to Sony Music Entertainment. In order for our work to be moderated the video will need to remain online for three months. After this period the video can be removed if there is an issue. Additionally we are able to make a hard copy of our video, which will be sent straight to the moderator and will thus not be publicised if there is any concern over the use of the song in question.

Yours Faithfully,





Faye Curry                                   Kala Hill                                Georgia Pearce
