Assignment 2 Task One – Choosing the track/gaining permissio

The importance of gaining permission from the artist:

It is vital to ask for the artist's permission to use their song because we can then be drifted from any issues involving the law and the artists’ rights. In order to prevent breaking the copyright laws, there must be an agreement with the company before the software is installed. This will leave us in good hands, making our work get finished easier and quicker. We must understand the consequences if we have failed to contact the artists and ask what it is we want to do with their track, meaning they will have the right to sue us. Situations like these are why gaining permission from the girl band "Stooshe" is important for both the artists and us. We do not want to be held in the position of breaking the copyright laws as it would not be our direct attention to do so with the track, however the artists may think that our intentions are to do so. 

Permission from the artist

Here is an email, which includes our request to use the artists’ track. This was done so that we were not breaking any copyright laws on behalf of the artists.
