Planning - Legal Requirements

The two songs I had chosen to incorporate into my project were unfortunately not copyright free and so I had to contact the artists to gain permission to use their tracks. The emails I sent out to them and their replies are shown below:

The Temper Trap - Love Lost:
To Whomever it may concern,

My name is Joel Wroe-Johnson and I am a 17 year old A Level Student from Jersey in the United Kingdom. My favourite of the three subjects I am currently studying is Media and I am currently undertaking the final project of my A Level for which I have chosen to produce a five minute Documentary show on a sport I am very passionate about.

My reason for contacting you, is that I am a great fan of The Temper Trap and particularly like the two tracks; 'Love lost' and 'Soldier On'. I was wondering if it would be possible to have permission to use 'Love lost' in part of the project as it is a very powerful song that I can imagine the artistic nature of my sport editing very well together with. I am not asking for anything that requires The Temper Trap to be represented in an obscene, violent or graphic nature and I would be happy to send you a draft version to see if the nature of the project meets your approval. There will be only one copy made of the final project and this will be sent to the examiner solely with no intention to be distributed or sold in any way.

I hope that I have given you all the information required, If however you do require more to properly grant me permission to use the track, please don't hesitate to get in touch.


Kind Regards,

Joel Wroe Johnson



The Maccabes - X-ray:

So far, I have not recieved a reply from either The Management of The Temper Trap or JPR Management (The Maccabees).
