Before we begin making our video we need to get permission from the record company who own the rights to the song. if we fail to do this it becomes a criminal offense.

I was given the task to find out who owned the rights to, You Me At Six- If I Were In Your Shoes. I found that Virgin Records Uk own the right to this song as, You Me At Six are signed to this record label. I emailed them to ask for permission to use this particular song in our music video.
This is the Emal:

We waited 2 weeks for a reply and we had nothing. we kept the email as evidence of trying to get permission. we felt that, no reply so say we couldn't use the song, meant that we are fine to go ahead and use it.
