If I am not allowed to use my purchased music on an iMovie project I am making for personal use, how do I obtain permission from the copywrite owner to use a song. Does Apple have a system in place to identify the copywrite owner so I can get permission? If not, they should! It would be very helpful to us.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2
Apple Music cannot be used in iMovie. All the songs are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected. Also it is a subscription service, not a song purchase service. One is only renting the songs, so to speak, not purchasing them, and so you cannot download them elsewhere, as in iMovie, and acquire ownership.
You can purchase songs from iTunes and use those in iMovie.

Hi again. I guess I'm confused. I did purchase (I thought!) the song I want to use through iTuens. However, it doesn't show up under my "Purchased list"- So, I don't know how to add it to my iMovie project.
Thanks
OK, I will try that, thanks. I did not think iTunes was available any more.
If you purchased it from iTunes then it would have to be in your iTunes library.
The songs only. cost about $1.30, so you might consider purchasing it again.
