The students are requesting permission to use the song "All-star Hipster" by Patent Pending for their A2 media coursework which requires producing a music video for a song. They believe this song is well-suited because it does not already have a music video so they will not be influenced by another version. They will only use the music video and other products they create for educational purposes to be reviewed by their teacher and exam board, not for any monetary gain, so it will not violate the artist's terms. They hope the explanation provides understanding of their situation and that permission to use the song will be granted.
