Copyright

To make sure we weren't infringing any copy write laws and to make sure we didn't have any law suits coming after us I sent an email to the manager of The Killers requesting their permission to use the song.


After not receiving a response Sandhya went searching via different methods. 


She also sent another email which could not be print screened for unknown reasons so heres what was included:

Dear Robert Reynolds,

I am an A level student and I am writing to request your permission to use one track from their second album by "The Killers" entitled Sams Town. The track I wish to use is "When you were young", track 3 on the album. With your permission, this track would be used in my current A-level Media Studies project which involves creating a music video for a popular music track, as well as producing an album and a magazine advert for the artist. If I received your permission, this track would ONLY be used in an educational context and be viewed by my media class, my teacher and the OCR exam board moderator. It would NOT be released to a large audience or uploaded to any public video websites. The artist and your company would of course be fully recognized throughout preproduction
and the final video itself. A copyright notice, with wording supplied by you can be included in the records of the project. If this is required, please send full details.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Sandhya Gulsin
