Post Does anyone know how to...

-contact a copyright holder? We used a bunch of music from THE FAT SPY, understanding it to be public domain. Only after the film was completed -and having scenes built around the music itself- did we learn that the film still has copyright holders. I've tried to contact the rights holder through a couple of distributors of the film on DVD, but so far nothing. If we can talk with the rights holder, I'm sure we can get permission to use the songs, but I haven't been able to contact them yet.

Hm. That's something I've never thought about. I guess you could either try looking the holder(s) up in the white pages (or online white pages) and send a letter, or try going through agents/attorneys.

But if the film's in the public domain, I'm not sure how there can be copyright holders. Aren't the two mutually exclusive?

Well, apparently, despite all evidence, THE FAT SPY isn't technically a public domain movie! I should have used the soundtrack to EEGAH instead!
