Copyright - James Arthur - Impossible
In this post, I will be using screenshots of an email that the group have sent to SyCo in order to get permission to use James Arthur's song - Impossible.
This is essential to the rest of our project as we need this permission in order for our video to be legal and stay on youtube without SyCo executives removing due it to the fact we do not have permission to use a copyrighted song.
Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights. It is a form of intellectual property (like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
This is the email that I sent to SyCo Productions. We received no reply from the company, however this still shows that we did attempt to get in touch with them. We have asked for permission, and we have not simply just used it. We will be sure to put a disclaimer in the description of our video if/when it is uploaded, explaining the copyright and that the music does not belong to us.

You have made a start in explaining why music censorship is important, but you need to ensure, that you reference your research!
