Contingency Plans
The rights cover: broadcast and public performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting and lending
copies to the public.
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.
Dramatic
Plays, dance etc.
Musical
Recordings and score.
Artistic
Photography, painting, sculptures, architecture, technical drawings/diagrams, maps, logos.
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.

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.
Intellectual property
Having the right type of intellectual property protection helps you to stop people stealing or copying:
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.
Types of protection
The type of protection you can get depends on what you’ve created. You get some types of protection

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.
Trespass
This is a civil law.
Trespass to land consists of any unjustifiable intrusion by a person upon the land in possession of
another.
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.
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.
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.
Ethical Constraints
Rather than legal constraints, ethical issues are based on judgement. They are what society considers
as morally acceptable.
If something is seen as ethically wrong as it is first investigated to see if it is breaking any laws.
However, if it is not in violation of any of these laws then it comes under ethical issues.
This means that no law has been broken, however the public may see it as offensive or controversial.
Many ethical concerns are raised by groups of specific people. These groups may find the publication
offensive, due to how the minority are represented.
Ethical concerns which come into media production are things such as:
Each media industry has its own regulatory body which has a code of conduct and rules which all
media practitioners follow:
● BBFC
● ASA
● Ofcom
● IPSO
