Relevant legal and ethical issues

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.

Application:

How this applies to a music video production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law

This applies to photography because photographs are protected by copyright.

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

To avoid breaking this civil law we will not use any copyrighted work. All of my photographs will be
original as well as my coverlines

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:

Age

Being or becoming a transsexual person

Being married or in a civil partnership

Being pregnant or on maternity leave

Disability

Race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin

Religion/belief or lack of religion/belief

Sex

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 photography production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law

This applies to photography because it means a photograph cannot discriminate on anyone because
of these things.

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

We will specifically avoid this by not producing a photograph or cover lines that discriminates against
anyone.

Intellectual property

What intellectual property is

Having the right type of intellectual property protection helps you to stop people stealing or copying:

the names of your products or brands

your inventions
the design or look of your products

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:

created it (and it meets the requirements for copyright, a patent or a design

bought intellectual property rights from the creator or a previous owner

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.

Types of protection

The type of protection you can get depends on what you’ve created. You get some types of
protection automatically, others you have to apply for.

breaking the law

This applies to photography production as the photographer automatically gains copyright to the
photographs they’ve taken

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

To avoid breaking this law the model will not display any name-branded clothes on camera. We will
also make sure we ask permission to use any distinct shapes that are reminiscent of logos and
trademarks

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 photography production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law

This applies to photography as photographs cannot destroy a person's reputation or deprive them
How you will specifically avoid breaking this law – what exactly will you avoid and how?

To avoid breaking this law we will not aggravate, deprave or destroy anybody’s reputation through
photographs, as well as through the cover lines of the magazine front cover

Trespass

This is a civil law.

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 photography production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law

This applies to photography production because the photographer may want to do a shoot in a
certain area. However, the desired area they want to film in may be private land.

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

We will avoid breaking this law by taking into consideration if any of our desired shoot locations are
on private land and by getting documented permission for us to go on private land

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 photography production in general – e.g. what producers must do to avoid
breaking the law

Photographer must not include any private and personal information in the photographs

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

I will avoid breaking this law by trying not to get any private information in my photographs. If I do I
will use a different photograph
