This cannot be stressed enough. Some law schools and bar associations have IP and copyright clinics, where people can seek information for low or no fee. I would suggest you contact your local bar association, and they may be able to direct you to someone.

No lawyer with a shred of ethical duty will answer this for you, for a number of reasons.

I'm sorry, I had no idea. I've been looking it up as part of a project. I've called UMG music and talked to their copyright office but so far, no one has given me any useful advice. But, thank you for the replies! I'll continue my search

Write them a nice letter-with proof of delivery et al.
Again goes to trying to do the right thing at a professional level.

Something like this I just somehow do not see anyone handling as an e-mail or a phone conversation.
