Copyright protects the original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works. It allows an original work to be considered a property that is owned by somebody. In music, the copyright begins automatically once a piece of music is created, and documented or recorded. Copyright lasts generally for a period of 70 years.
In order to solve the copyright issues with my piece of music I thought it would be easiest for me to email Eliza Doolittles company/management and ask for their permission to use the song and post it on YouTube. The response that I got was very positive and I was lucky just to even get a reply so..The email that I sent to them went as follows:
'Dear to whom it may concern,
I am currently in my final year of A-Level Media at Wymondham High Sixth Form, Norfolk and for my production coursework I have chose to do a music video. Therefore I am contacting you to ask for permission to use the song by Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up. The work would not be distributed further than my coursework blog (http://sophieo123.blogspot.com) and possibly YouTube if that's okay. If it's possible for you to give any thoughts or feedback for a potential video then that would be really appreciated; i'm basing the theme around gaining self-confidence and having no worries as that is what I interpret the meaning as.
Thanks a lot,
Sophie Osborne'
The email that I got back was
'Sure you can! We would love to see when it's done. Good luck.'
