Copyright Letter

It has been two weeks now since we have sent the permission letter to Sour Mash Records, and still have not heard a reply, so as a group we assumed that we were able to use the song. If we were unable to, then I'm positive we would have been contacted to advise us of this.

Copyright Letter

In order to use any song and produce a music video, there are hurdles that need to be addressed. The main thing was to seek permission to actually use the song from the copany that owns it. After thinking about this, it most definitely would have been better to have sent of this letter at the earliest stage possible, as in the same day that we had decided on the song to use. Instead, we carried on blogging about the chosen song and have done countless research into what we could do to produce the video. This has a potential to be catastrophic for our group. If the company that owns the song write back to us and for some reason do not allow us to use the song in our video, then the whole of our project so far would be pointless and we would have to revert back the beginning.

All well and said, Adam sent of a letter to the company. It took a while to do this. We initially thought that there would simply be an email address to send a quick email off to, but this was not the case. After seaching around, we found that the song was owned by Sour Mash Records, a company founded and produced by Noel Gallagher himself. Adam tried to find the company's website, however as yet, there has not yet been an official site created. Instead, a simple Google search of the name produced us with a blogger page dedicated to the company and Noel Gallagher. The link to this website can be found here.

After a couple of more internet searches and scrolling down the page of the endless results Google gives you, one address kept popping up, so we decided to send a letter to that address. Adam typed out the letter and it can be seen below. The letter was then stuck in an envelope and sent off to the company, and we await a reply!
