I've emailed my favorite band to ask for their permission to use their tracks in my upcoming short. They've given me permission to use their tracks and they said as long as I give them full credit for the tracks in the credit line that would be ok with them as long as the film is used for non-commercial purposes. And if I intend to use the film in any commercial way I should contact them again for negotiation.
Since we don't have any copy right law in Iran I'm not familiar with licensing stuff. Are short movies submitted to famous american film festivals such as Sundance considered non-commercial?
