iv been listing to this song alot and would really like to put it in a short film me and some people are doing in december.

how hard do you think it would be to get the rights to use this?

as close to impossible as it is possible to get would be my guess. its worth a shot though - write a letter and see what happens

you could buy the remake rights for less. So a million dollars instead of 2. I dunno, i made up those numbers, but beatles songs are some of the most, if not the most, expensive songs to license. On a side note Steven king will sell you the rights to produce one of his books for a buck.

well the rule of thumb when it comes to this sort of thing is to note the following:

-Are u showing this to a national audience?
-Are u trying to make money off this?

Now someone is going to post after me "it doesn't matter if ur making money off of it or not, ur stealing and that's why ull be sued for all ur worth blah blah blah." So consider this last note:

Do u really think the person w/ the rights to the Beatle's songs now (Michael Jackson) is going to care if some indie-filmmaker is putting a Beatle's song into their cruddy little movie (not assuming ur a bad filmmaker, but u know what i mean)?

"Do u really think the person w/ the rights to the Beatle's songs now (Michael Jackson) is going to care if some indie-filmmaker is putting a Beatle's song into their cruddy little movie"


Well, sooner or later hes gonna go bankrupt from these lawsuits and look for somebody to sue.

P.S. This film will be entered in film festivals.

AFAIK festivals REQUIRE written licenses for any music used in the film. that would rule out the "no one will care" option.

yea,

its not even worth the trouble to see if i can get the rights to use it for free.
