For me, this means that I cannot use song, without asking or getting permissions from the record label of the artist I want to use the song. This means that because I am going to use the song by Jason Derulo ''It girl'', I need to contact Warner Bros. or Beluga Heights record labels, which has been working with the artist on this album. If, I would use the song without permission, I would go against this law, and would cause me a lot of trouble's; would give me a bad name, as well as the school which I attend.
