    Re: Obtaining Permissions.

    Keeping this up on page one. People seem to like it and it's more of a "read and use" thread than "read and reply" thread.

        Re: Obtaining Permissions.

        After using this for a while I started to feel like the first paragraph didn't really set things up as well as I wanted it to. As such I've changed it to the following:

        My name is (your name). I'm wondering if I could have a minute of your time to request permission to use (songs / whatever) in a free online rhythm game called FlashFlashRevolution. The website is www.flashflashrevolution.com.
        I think it gets the point across better, not to mention "speaking on behalf of" sounded too much like a company bot and gave too much of an impersonal inflection on the email.

        Hopefully this helps.

        I personally think I'm going after too many high-profile labels, but hey might as well try.

          Re: Obtaining Permissions.

          Edited little bits of this again. Mainly removed a couple of paragraphs that I felt weren't helpful when contacting people. Mainly the "we love your music" parts, they seemed contrived when I read it. Though if you feel you can make it work then go for it.

          So anyway, hope some people continue to use this and can get FFR some more permissions.

              Re: Obtaining Permissions.

              Thanks man, I've started to see it crop up a little more now. You and highandroid both got permissions using it so I'm happy.

              I mean I would prefer this to be a sticky as I think it's useful enough, but I'm not about to try to keep forcing the issue. If I need to keep bumping it for people to see it then I'm fine with that. Main point is just that it successfully gets more permissions for FFR.

                        Why don't you do it yourself. Everything you need is on the first post.

                          Tenacious D are with Sony / Epic. You aren't getting their permission but good luck trying.

                              Re: Obtaining Permissions.

                              Oh, just to say, if anyone actually wants to try to get Tenacious D then try contacting their fan-mail directly. The address is:

                              Tenacious D
                              722 Seward Street
                              Los Angeles, CA 90038

                              Has to be by post so just print out one of the letters or copy it down or something.
