I was in the university made a short film in which I Music - with hitherto unexplained rights - have used. This film has so far been shown only university intern.
Meanwhile, I have tried to label and artist to contact me as synonymous with the film to submit to competitions, or even wants to use commercially.
The label, the next E-mail s.den artist, who replied as follows: This is [name] and I own the copyright on the [artist] material. Please tell me which track (s) you had in mind I would consider it if it was purely for non-commercial purposes. You say for a university environment, then I assume it is not intended for internet?
In my reply, there was no response. Now that a few months (!) Later, I s.das letter label on, I am asking is the one the label after the / my rights, on the other hand, I put a letter for the artists. In addition, two copies of the film as five stills and MOV. Return envelopes included dollar bills not to be forgotten.
What are the crucial questions I should ask?
I would prefer a contract then yes, get back a statement, indicating what I can and what not.
Is it premature to ask what the price for a commercial use would be?

I wonder also: where does non-commercial use, where to begin commercial use?
At the moment we use for our 5:30 min four (!) Songs of the artist, intertwined and mixed. This will, however, until the final version subject to change.
Thanks for the links I am working through.
But that includes a question similar to this: it is an artist from the United States, he and other artists of the label do not appear in the

The Gema not represent artists' interests. Similarly, they finish with you.
Commercial use is "wischi-waschi". The label or artist will tell you exactly what he reports to you and licensed the song like you have to use / can. I do not want to take your hope, but such music you ever exchange in which rights are clarified in advance.
