Copyright laws are a joke. To use a track for my media project, I have to get permission from the artist/creator. Thats fair enough, right? Well anyway, in the screenplay I wrote, El Paso by Marty Robbins (peculiar I know) plays a big part symbolically. Unfortunately, I cant ask Marty Robbins if I can use El Paso since he sadly passed away a long time ago. Instead, I had to rewrite half of my screenplay to accommodate a more conventional thriller-type approach. So who better to ask for permission than the king of thriller OSTs himself, Dave Porter? (He composed the vast majority of the BrBa OST). Miraculously, I actually managed to get in touch with Dave Porter to find that he himself cannot grant me permission to use the music that HE made, as it technically belongs to SONY. What kind of world do artists live in where everything is so frivolously monetised and grafted into soulless technicalities that they themselves cannot decide what avenues their creations go down? Just doesnt make sense to me.
