Part of the Music Industry code of conduct, you have to apply for permission to copy a song. The e-mail below shows this.
Copyright laws are extremely important in the record industry If a song or other recorded media containing copyright material is duplicated without permission of the copyright holder, it is a form of copyright infringement.
Musical recordings that have not been officially released by the artist or their associated management or production companies.
In my case, although the song will not be released the term 'bootleg' is used to differentiate these otherwise unavailable recordings from "pirated" copies of commercially released material, but these recordings are still covered by copyright despite their lack of formal release.
