The advert producers have probably already obtained permission to use it from the copyright holders. Also, TV Networks already pay the royalties to play copyrighted music, so in a sense, anything goes.


Not quite, there is a system of logging and payment to use tracks that are published. All music written is automatically copyrighted, but not all is published!

How does one protect that copyright? I have written about 30 songs in my time in a band, but what's to stop someone at one of my gigs listening to the song and then claiming it as their own?

If there exists any dateable recording of said performances, or a dateable manuscript, then it can be disproved that they wrote the song. Also, anyone who witnessed you playing them could come forward as witnesses.

On the same theme but in reverse noticed today on Five a spoof of the M&S adverts to advertise their new cookery show - then switched over to Hollyoaks on E4 which opened with a spoof of the M&S adverts too - though unmistakeably a spoof considering it used characters rather than food - while's Five's effort is basically an M&S advert with Jeremy Edwards cropping up at the end.

I noticed this too, quite a good advert, I wasn't expecting it, though i was thinking why was there paper on the sponge pudding?
