Blog 4- Permission

Copyright is important to the Music Industry because it means that no one can cover the song or music video and not pay for the right to cover it or say that they wrote the song or performed it first, when they didn't. illegal copying and down loading of music is an infringement of the copyright laws and it can be hard for the record labels to deal with this as it happens all the time and they cant really stop it.


To make the music video for the song we have chosen we have to write to the record company to ask for permission to use the song for the project.






The email says:

"Dear Sir/Madame

I am an A2 Media student at Sussex Downs college, we are doing a project on the music industry in which we have to make a music video, for an existing band and i am writing to you for permission to use the song "Whatshername" by green day for our music video.


Many thanks
