How To Get Permission to Use a Song in a Film or Video - Entertainment Law Asked & Answered

Music Rights - How do you get permission to use a song in your video or film?
Hi, I'm Gordon Firemark, and this is Asked and Answered, where I answer common entertainment law questions, so you can take your entertainment industry career and business, or just your hobby, to the next level.
So, in a previous Asked and Answered session, I talked about fans making cover videos and posting them on KZread and Facebook.
And I explained that, when you include a musical composition (even your own recording of the song) in a video or film, you need special permission, called a Synchronization or Sync License from the owners of the copyright in that song.
So here's how you get that license.
It's actually pretty simple, conceptually.
You find out who owns the copyright,
You submit a request
You wait for an approval, called a "quote"
You agree to pay the required license fee in a written contract prepared by the copyright owner
And you're set.
In practice, however this is a bit more complicated.
That's because lots of songs are written by multiple songwriters. Collaborators. And, each of those songwriters might be represented by a different publishing company. And you need permission from all of them.
So, you've got to track down all those publishers so you can ask.
Now, a good place to start this is by looking at the liner notes for a recording of the song you're using. Oh, wait, this is the 21st century, and you're listening to an mp3 that doesn't have liner notes, or on a streaming service... Again no liner notes.
So, first check out the source where you got the music in question, and see if it lists the names of the songwriters and their publishers. Then google those companies. OR, head over to ASCAP.com and BMI.com, and search their repertoires.
Then, contact each publisher, and request the permission for the use you have in mind.
Then you wait for the quote, and then the license agreement.... Which you have to read, and understand, and comply with its terms...
And that's how you clear music rights.
More work than you thought, huh?
This is why TV shows and Film Production Companies have staffers who do this stuff for them. Most shows and films have a music supervisor who helps find the music, and identifies the owners, and then a lawyer or paralegal or other executive will handle the actual licensing.
For a film project, or a TV show, that makes sense, But for your typical KZread or Facebook video... It's probably overkill. Maybe you'd be better off using some original music you wrote, or a track from a royalty-free source.
That's it for this session of Asked and Answered. Submit your entertainment law questions at firemark.com/questions.
See you next time.

    "Bull" is when you can create something (like a song) that is easily recognizable in pop culture and appears all over the place, used to hustle ads or to popularize other people's content and you can't control it nor get any significant financial restitution. KZread runs these filters not to benefit any music or artist, but to make sure they themselves can get maximum dollar for its usage..

    If copyright is so damned important, why isn't the process to request the ability to use a licensed work made super simple? Wouldn't that promote increased respect for copyright as a whole? The current structure of copyright seems to be counter-productive to itself. Not to mention the ungodly court costs I assume are involved in suing someone for infringement!

    LilKing420s you make a good point. It’s a complex system that was devised long before most people had access to the means of production (or reproduction)... new technologies have made copying so simple, it’s natural to expect every aspect of life to be simple. Sadly, that’s not the case. While it’s easy to break the law, and somewhat difficult to get caught, following the law is REQUIRED. The consequences when you get caught (eventually, you will) are quite dire. Costs incurred by a successful plaintiff get shifted to the defendant... so cost isn’t often a deterrent.

Rates probably start at around $300/hr and rise as high as $1000/hr. depending on the lawyer's level of experience, specialization, and city\.

    Question: I want to use “ Pachelbel's Canon in D “ - that I will play and record on my keyboard. Google said “ Pachelbel died in 1706, long before copyright existed in its modern form, and so the composition is most definitely in the public domain. This means that if you can get an orchestra together, you can perform Pachelbel's Canon in D major without having to get permission from Pachelbel's heirs, estate or agents.” So, do I consider Google search as legitimate under the law that I can use that song for free?

    If you've licensed via ASCAP, then as long as the license covers livestreaming/broadcasts, you should be fine. But depending on the platform you're streaming from, you may have to show some proof of the license. That'll vary by platform, and you'll need to interact with them directly. It's unlikely there's an online way to do this.

    From this comment, I infer that you don't believe permission should be required? Or that creators shouldn't be able to enjoy the right to profit from their efforts? Let's discuss this. How would you change copyright law? Remember that the constitutional mandate is "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." so, how do you incentivize creative work without giving the creators the right to control how, when, and why that work is used by others?

Do all KZreadrs do that? for each song they use on their videos, they get hundreds of people and wait for them to respond? Can I use like 20 seconds of the song and give credit to the owner in the description? Would this do it? Sorry I'm just so confused I would be glad if you could help me please

    My situation is slightly different. I make music videos for the band Liliac.. They are independent and own the copyright to their own music. They tell their fans to use and share their music as a way of helping to promote them. When I upload a video, KZread says (It's copyrighted, but the owner allows their content to be used on KZread) I still get a claim however. I will be seeing them and have a backstage pass to meet them at the end of the month.. My actual question is, When I ask for specific permission (in order to remove the copyright claims) how is that permission submitted to KZread? What is the actual physical step(s) needed by me or the band, to tell KZread that I have permission? Thank You if you can answer this or point me in the right direction!

    I have a question that is not related to this content. sometimes I watch other Shorts using the original music BUT the sounds are not the same as the Original music should be, I take the "Can you feel my heart" song as an example. When other Shorts playing the part of a Original music and start playing "Can you hear the silence? Can you see the dark? Can you fix the broken? Can you feel my heart?" Then the music plays the Theme of the song with little low deep, so I tried the same thing but it goes the same thing without the low deep in the theme. like why I can't make the same music and how they make it? there is no features to make it.

    For the festival release of a film, I have a license in place with an artist who recorded a cover song. That artist properly obtained the license to record & release the song from the copyright owner. Even though we have a license to use THE RECORDING, we still need a NEW license from the original song's copyright owner in order to use it in the film? Is that correct?

    When you say publisher, are you talking about the company through which an album or song was released? For example; Avenged Sevenfold makes an album then releases it through Warner Records, would I have to contact Warner Records to get a proper license to use their songs in my videos? Let's say I wanted to use their songs in most of, if not all of, my videos in the future. How would I go about asking for a contract like that? How do I make sure I'm not being screwed over? What happens when my license (the contract) runs out, will my videos get copyrighted or does the license apply to videos released under a certain time period / amount of videos which is stated in the contract? Edit to cram in another question: If a band makes a demo for a song but doesn't release it to the public yet it is found years later by fans, who should I contact for a license then?
