Fourth: You can not get permission from the copyright owner and do not pay him remuneration, you participate in a commercial performance, and you don't need to think about this aspect.

Fifth: What does it mean to renounce copyright? To put it simply, your company entrusts the creator to create, and it is clearly pointed out in the entrustment contract that the trustee waives the copyright, and the copyright is owned by the client, which is called giving up the copyright.

If nothing else, copyright is a private right, which does not mean that if I give up this right, it is not mine. Therefore, regardless of whether it is waived or not, the copyright still belongs to the author. Except for copyright assignments.

Sixth aspect: Based on the above, the best way to solve your case is: 1. Announcement statement: Let the author of the work contact you and submit a valid copyright certificate.

The author did find it, so let's talk about it, the authorship of the lyrics of your adapted work is still theirs. However, it can be authorized by the author, and other rights that can be used for commercial operations...

I forgot to mention that if you are really sure that the author will not appear, then you can directly file a lawsuit in court to confirm the copyright of your modified work...
