Copyright Permission

To ensure our group have copyrights to use the Lorde song, a member of our group emailed her production company requesting the rights. Here is a copy of the message:

I am an A2 media student from the UK requesting permission to use Lorde's song 'Sober' from the album 'Melodrama' for my A Level Media Studies coursework. I will be making a music video as part of my coursework, and would like to be able to use this song without being copyrighted. Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Liv Mclean

It is necessary for to me ask for copyrights as it makes it legal for me to use the song and publish it publicly. Without asking for copyright permission, our music video could be removed from the internet under the copyright act.
