Greetings, I hope someone out here can help me because no one I've spoken to at Ascap or the Copyright office can give me a straight answer.
I've recently created a Documentary based on a film from the 1970s. The producer of the film is my partner, and has granted use of footage in the film.
I'd like to use a couple of snippets of music within the original film. My question: is this permitted since he initially obtained the music rights back when the film was produced? And also, would not our Errors and Ommissions policy protect us from Copyright infringement?
Thanks for ANY assistance.
