How Do I Get Permission To Use Copyright Music In A Commercial For A School Project That May Be Aired Locally?

Posted by Copyright Law Enquirer on July 16th, 2009 at 04:26am

For a school project I have to put together a 60 sec commercial for a local business that may be played on local TV. (I will not be paid) I want to use the song “Do You Believe in Magic” sung by Ally & A.J. or The Lovin’ Spoonfuls. How do I get permission to use their music in my commercial?

    You might consider contacting a music clearinghouse, such as ASCAP or BMI. Below are links to additional information.http://www.ascap.com/licensing/http://www.bmi.com/licensing/
    Keep in mind that licensing copyrighted music will likely cost you some money. If you are looking for a no-cost option, you may need to consider other avenues.

    Contact the “URL” or owner to get permission. If it was done in class only you would not have a problem, but since it maybe aired, you could.
