Where could you find an example of a request for copyright permission?

It depends on the discipline, and the proposed use. For the most part, you can initially approach the rightsholder as a simple request: "We request permission to use [property] for [use]." and a sentence or two about yourself. If they have a specific form they wish you to use, or they require additional information, they'll let you know.

It depends upon whether you have permission, or need permission for your use. Some limited uses are perfectly legal, but you have the burden of proving that your use qualifies for the statutory exemption (e.g., singing it for free in public). If you used a song without permission from the rightsholders, you would be guilty of copyright infringement. Statutory fines in the US range from $750 to $30,000. If the copyright was registered in the US Copyright Office prior to the infringement, the statutory damages could run as high as $150,000 for each song. It is also a federal crime to use a willful copyright infringement for commercial advantage or private financial gain.
