Copyright Permission Letter

1. Copyright permission letter for the song used in our film opening
Above we want to use the song
‘Aint nobodys buisness’ by Rihanna
and Chris Brown in our music
video, so we researched Rihanna’s
record label so we could contact
them to ask for copyright
permission for the son. Rihanna
record label is called Def jam as I
have highlighted .

2. We then went on
to researching
Def jam to find
out that its parent
company is the
Universal music
group.

3. After researching on the Universal Music
Group (UMG), this Is when we decided
that UMG would be the company that
we’d need to contact for permission to
use the song.
We then accessed the UMG official
website and located their FAQ section to
sought out how we’d contact them for
their permission of the song.

4. When browsing on the FAQ’s page, we came across a question
concerning how to license music for a project and the answer was
that we must contact UMPG’s Film and TV Licensing department via
email, telephone, fax or website. We chose to contact UMG via email
at umpg.licensing@umusic.com.

5. This is a screen shot to show my group and I sending of our copyright permission
letter of to universal music studios via email like they told us to do on their
website.

6. Dear Copyright Holder,
We are A-Level students and we are writing to request your permission to use a track from Rihanna’s
seventh album ‘Unapologetic’. The track we wish to use is ‘Aint nobody’s business’.
With your permission, this task would be used in our current A-Level Media Studies project, which involves
creating a music video to a popular music track, as well as producing an album and a magazine advert for
the artist.
If we received your permission, this track would ONLY be used in an educational context and be viewed by
our media class, our teacher and the OCR exam board moderator. It would not be released to a large
audience.
The artist and your company would of course be fully recognised throughout pre-production and the final
video itself. A copyright notice with wording supplied by you can be included in the records of the project.
If this is required, please send full details.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Regards, Daniella Benson, Dwayne Grosett Sandra Asimeng .UK
