Copyright and Permission for my chosen track

My partner David took care of the task emailing the record label of Linkin park for permission to use the track we are going to use for our work so there are no infringements held against us.

Warner Bros. Records are the record label that Linkin Park are currently signed to. I have looked for an email address in order to email them asking for their permission to use their track but have found out that they do not have a specific email address for this and so only accept letters. The address for which is:

Warner Special Products
3500 West Olive, Suite 800
Burbank, CA 91505
Labels: Atlantic Records, Elektra Records, Giant Records, Maverick Records, Quest Records, Reprise Records, Rhino Records, Sire Records, Warner Bros. Records, and Warner Sunset Records


Dear Copyright Holder,
I am an A Level student requesting your permission to use Linkin Park's cover track of ‘Rolling in the deep’ originally sang by Adele.
With your consent, the track would be used in our current A2 level Media Studies project, which consists of creating a music video, including an album cover and a magazine advert for our new and upcoming artist. The artist featured in my video will not be using Linkin Park's name, as we will be creating a completely new artist and image.
If I receive your permission, this track would ONLY be used in an educational context and will be viewed by my media class, my teacher and the OCR exam board moderator. It would NOT be used for any financial purposes or gain, neither the institution or intend to make any profit out of using your artist’s track.
The artist and your record company will be fully acknowledged throughout the pre-production stage and the final video itself. A copyright worded notice, provided by you can be incorporated in the records of the project. If this is required, please send full details to us.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Mr David Hanley
Park High School, UK
