Relevant legal and ethical issues

Legal and Ethical Constraints
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988
The law gives the creators of literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, sound recordings,
broadcasts, films and typographical arrangement of published editions, rights to control the
ways in which their material may be used.

The rights cover: broadcast and public performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting and
lending copies to the public.

This is a CIVIL law not a CRIMINAL law.

This means it is not a criminal offence to break the law, which could result in a fine or jail
sentence.
Instead, the person who owns the copyright has to sue the person they believe has broken
the law. The case is then heard in a civil court and if the person is found guilty of breaking
copyright law then they will have to pay damages to the owner of the copyright. The amount
of damages is set by the court.

Types of work protected

Literary
Song lyrics, manuscripts, manuals, computer programs, commercial documents, leaflets,
newsletters and articles etc.
Dramatic
Plays, dance etc.
Musical
Recordings and score.
Artistic
Photography, painting, sculptures, architecture, technical drawings/diagrams, maps, logos.
Typographical arrangement of published editions
Magazines, periodicals, etc.
Sound recording
May be recordings of other copyright works, e.g. musical and literary.
Film
Video footage, films, broadcasts and cable programmes.
The Copyright (Computer Programs) Regulations 1992 extended the rules covering literary
works to include computer programs.

Duration of copyright
For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works: 70 years from the end of the calendar
year in which the last remaining author of the work dies.
If the author is unknown, copyright will last for 70 years from end of the calendar year in
which the work was created, although if it is made available to the public during that time, by
publication, authorised performance, broadcast, exhibition etc., then the duration will be 70
years from the end of the year that the work was first made available.
Sound Recordings: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was
created or, if the work is released within that time, 70 years from the end of the calendar
year in which the work was first released.
Films: 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last principal director, author
or composer dies.
If the work is of unknown authorship: 70 years from end of the calendar year of creation, or if
made available to the public in that time, 70 years from the end of the year the film was first
made available.
Typographical arrangement of published editions: 25 years from the end of the calendar
year in which the work was first published.
Broadcasts and cable programmes: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which
the broadcast was made.
Equality Act 2010
This law legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.
It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:

Ø Being married or in a civil partnership
Ø Being pregnant or on maternity leave
Ø Disability
Ø Race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
Ø Religion/belief or lack of religion/belief
Ø Sex
Ø Sexual orientation

This is a CRIMINAL law.

Therefore anyone who is considered to be breaking the law could be arrested. It would
result in a criminal trial which if found guilty could result in a fine or jail sentence.

Application:
How this applies to a Magazine production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law
They must ensure that they don’t discriminate against anyone of a particular

Intellectual property
What intellectual property is?
Having the right type of intellectual property protection helps you to stop people stealing or
copying:
Ø the names of your products or brands
Ø your inventions
Ø the design or look of your products
Ø things you write, make or produce

Copyright, patents, designs and trademarks are all types of intellectual property protection.
You get some types of protection automatically, others you have to apply for.

You own intellectual property if you:

Ø created it (and it meets the requirements for copyright, a patent or a design
Ø bought intellectual property rights from the creator or a previous owner
Ø have a brand that could be a trade mark e.g. a well-known product name

If you believe anyone has stolen or copied your property you would sue them in civil court.

existing materials that weren’t created solely by them.

How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?
I will avoid breaking this law by using all my own photos and also conducting my own
interviews this will not break the law as all of my work will be made solely by me.

Obscene Publications Act 1959

For the purposes of this Act an article shall be deemed to be obscene if its effect or (where
the article comprises two or more distinct items) the effect of any one of its items is, if taken
as a whole, such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to
all relevant circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it.

In this Act ‘article’ means any description of article containing or embodying matter to be
read or looked at or both, any sound record and any film or other record of a picture or
pictures.

This is a criminal law.

Application:
How this applies to a Magazine production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law
Producers must ensure that they don’t use any vulgar language in the articles and
other parts of the publication such as cover lines and also mastheads.

How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?
I will ensure that I don’t use vulgar language in my article which could be seem to
cause harm and offence to a young audience.

Trespass

Trespass to land consists of any unjustifiable intrusion by a person upon the land in
possession of another.
Civil trespass is actionable in the courts.

Application:
How this applies to a music video production in general – e.g. what producers must do to

on.

How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?

Privacy

The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into English law the European
Convention on Human Rights.

Article 8.1 of the ECHR provides an explicit right to respect for a private life:
Article 8 protects your right to respect for your private life, your family life, your home and
your correspondence (letters, telephone calls and emails, for example).

Privacy Law is a law which deals with the use of people’s personal information and making
sure they aren't intruded upon. These laws make sure people can't have their information
wrongly used without permission.

The effect this has on radio:

This means that they can't tell the listeners people’s full names or any private details they
don't want revealed. For example if a viewer calls in but they don't want their name to be
revealed then they can't say it.

The effect this has on television:

This is also basically the same as radio, they can't use people’s full names without their
consent. This also means that if they take footage of someone they need to get that person’s
permission before they air it on television.

Anyone who believes their right has been broken can make a civil claim in the courts against
those they believe have invaded their privacy.

When applying the legal principles the court will balance the claimant's right to privacy
against the right to freedom of expression.

If the claimant is proved to be correct this could result in an injunction banning publication of
information; damages; and return or destruction of the material gained from the intrusion.

Application:
How this applies to a Magazine production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law
Producers must ensure that they apply for intellectual property rights to avoid their
work being stolen.

How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?
I will ensure that nobody uses the same ideas as me and tries to claim them as their
own.

Defamation Act 2013

This Act reformed defamation law on issues of the right to freedom of expression and the
protection of reputation. It also comprised a response to perceptions that the law as it stood
was giving rise to libel tourism and other inappropriate claims.

The Act changed existing criteria for a successful claim, by requiring claimants to show
actual or probable serious harm (which, in the case of for-profit bodies, is restricted to
serious financial loss), before suing for defamation in England or Wales.

It also enhanced existing defences, by introducing a defence for website operators hosting
user-generated content (provided they comply with a procedure to enable the complainant to
resolve disputes directly with the author of the material concerned or otherwise remove it),
and introducing new statutory defences of truth, honest opinion, and "publication on a matter
of public interest“.

LIBEL
A written, published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation.

SLANDER
Making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.

Defamation is a civil law and so you would need to sue someone who you believe has
damaged your reputation.

Application:
How this applies to a Magazine production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law
They must ensure everything wrote about the subject of the article is true so they
aren’t breaking the law.

How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?
I will ensure that everything that I write about the person in my feature is true and isn’t
made up so I am not committing the offence of Libel.

Ethical Constraints

Representation and Stereotypes:

Explain what this is and why it’s an ethical issue. Identify whether it could even become a
legal issue if the line is crossed too far – what legal issue? You must make sure to
represent everyone equally and don’t use stereotypes when talking about someone of
a particular background which could become an equality issue which is a criminal
law.

Application:
How this applies to a Magazine production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
crossing the ethical line? Producers must ensure that they don’t discriminate against a
certain group of people.

How you will specifically avoid crossing any ethical lines – what exactly will you avoid and
how?
