Copyright is a legal concept which is enforced by governments in the UK, giving a creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. Copyright gives artists protection over there work for example The Beatles have used copyright to protect people from using their own songs. If the artist has died the public will be able to use their work. Some songs and albums have copyright protection meaning that you cannot record it onto another CD or burn it onto your computer as this would be breaking the law. If you use samples of music within your work for example you need to ask permission from the artist before you do so.
My group needed to apply for copyright to be allowed to use the artists song which is Ed Sheeran - Runaway. If we didn't ask for permission our video would be taken off Youtube and we could also end up going to court for copying an artists song. To get permission from the artist we had to find our there record labels email and send an email to them asking for permission to use the song.
This is the mail we sent to Ed Sheerans record label. We are still waiting for a response from Ed's record label, we are aware that they are very busy and may not reply for a long time meaning that we have carried on with planning our music video.
