are rewarded for their hard work and to give protection if their personal work is
stolen. Before this law act, there was no protection over any stolen work, even if
you did claim it as your own. This law still continues and is be used on necessary
cases. It protects ICT work so that it isnt easy to steal and therefore you can
claim it as your own. This Copyright act applies to copying software, such asMP3 songs, Videos, Images and Text. Copyright is an automatic right and arises
whenever an individual or company creates a work. To claim company, your work
should be regarded as original, and exhibit a degree of labour, skill or judgement.
Interpretation is related to the independent creation rather than the idea behind
the creation. For example, your idea for a book would not itself be protected as it
is not the actual content of a book you write would be. Someone else is still
entitled to write their own book around the same idea, provided they do not
directly copy or adapt yours to do so. The types of work eligible for copyright
protection include: Literary, dramatic, artistic or musical work, the typographical
arrangement of a published edition, a sound recording and film. Other companies
will be able to claim copyright if necessary.
I will be making sure that I do not copy any work as this is what my Client has
requested, if I was to copy someones Copyright then I could be sacked from the
role. By making sure, I will be reading all the laws before I start my entail product
for Gap Travel. From my Clients brief, copying someones work is a definite no.
Ethical:
Working on a media means that there will be restrictions to what you can
exactly do for example religion will come in to the category therefore different
meanings can come in to Ethical considerations. Ethical considerations is to
protect people from things such as racial comments which could offend
somebody and cause huge problems. Ethical Considerations is not just the things
you say away from the internet but on the internet as well, comments can upset
people and cause further stirs. People are more likely to say harsh things online
as they dont think that just because there online they will get away with it. They
wont as it can always be tracked meaning they will be punished. In the media
world and various different media jobs, more restrictions will apply to what you
can and cannot do, when working for the BBC or ITV, rules will apply in what you
can and cant say, for example: if you work for a television channel or radio
presenter and you say something which can be seen as racist or ethical then you
will most likely be sacked and serious cases could even be as serious as
imprisonment. If somebody reports a piece of offensive material than this could
cost the company lots of money so rules apply heavily in the media industry as
well as outside the industry in every day-to-day life.
