Research: Copyright clearance letter

Here is a copy of the letter I sent off to Sony Music UK. I was required to do this due to copyright reasons, as there are legal issues concerning the use of other artists songs without concent.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to make a music video using ‘Chip ft Delilah- Help Me’.

I am a student of A Level Media Studies and for my Advanced Portfolio I will be working in a group to produce a promotional package for the release of a new album track. I would like to request permission to use the above track for this project.

The finished project will not be made available publicly and will be used solely for coursework purposes. The holder of the original copyright will be fully acknowledged in the finished project.

If you do not hold the rights for this song I should be grateful if you could forward this request to the appropriate person, or return it to me with the contact details in order that I might approach the copyright holder directly.

Yours faithfully

Lenya James
