Copyright

The copyright law is present whenever an individual or company creates a work. It protects them from having their work directly copied or used without their consent. It also assures that anytime their work is used anything produced from it goes straight back to the artist and their record label. The employment of a copyright law on an artists work allows them to have full control over their own work and therefore means the artist fully benefits from any use of their work. 

The song we have chosen to create a music video to is 'Noserings and Shoestrings' by Nina Nesbitt who belongs to Island Record Label. We had to apply for copyright so that we could use our chosen song without breaking the copyright law. We emailed Island Record label to acquire permission to use Nina Nesbitts' song, as requiring permission was a necessity before beginning the production of our music video. We contacted the record label early on so that the production of our music video would not be interupted by the fact we had not been given permission to use Nina Nesbitts' song. 

Below is the exact email myself and my group sent to request copyright permission, we sent it on 27th September 2013 at 12:55pm, which is evident below in the email.

We are currently still awaiting a reply from the record label, in regards to the email we sent. 
However we will continue to send emails on a regular basis to hopefully gain a reply some time soon.
