I will not copy anybody else work. I will not steal cover lines or masthead ideas of anyone.
The photos I use will be my photos that I have taken and nobody else.

pictures aren’t offensive and that there is no nudity.

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.

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: For this law I will have to know what copyrights

protect and know what isn’t protected. In my magazine
photographs I will not use anyone else’s photos and the al the
images I use will be ones taken by myself.

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

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: This will apply to y magazine front cover as I need to
make sure no bad language or swearing is used. I need to make my
front cover eye grabbing. My magazine front cover will not judge
anyone regarding their appearance, religion or sex.

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.

Application: I have no right to steal any content or photographs

from any other fashion magazines and nobody will be allowed to
use any of my content.
Intellectual Property
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.

Automatic protection

Protection you have to apply for

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: In m photoshoot I will not offend anybody by using
violence or nudity in my photographs. I will also make sure none of
my cover lines contain any b ad language or swearing or anything
that may offed someone.

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: In order to avoid trespassing I will have to get a release

form so that I have permission to shoot and take my photographs
in specific places

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: To follow this law I will not release any personal

details about my model, I will have permission of her to display her
name on my magazine front cover. I have also uploaded a Model
Release Form on my blogger however I have left it blank to avoid
breaking this law as anyone has access to my blog via the internet.

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: This applies to me and my magazine front cover as I will have to

make sure I don’t ruin my model or anyone’s reputation by using offensive
words on my front cover. I will also make sure I don’t slip up with my words
on the cover lines and mis match anything as it could change the whole idea
of my front cover.

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 than 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.

Application: In order to follow this rule, I will be sure to check my cove lines,
mast head and any test on my front cover is politically correct ad no
attacking cover lines are featured. For example, if I was going to use religion
in my piece I would research into whether certain things I want to include is
respectful and inappropriate.

Ethical concerns which come into media production are things such as:
Protecting under 18s
Representation of age, gender, race, disability, sexuality and religion
Using off the record information
The power to influence public opinion
Interviewing vulnerable people or children
Anything that could cause offence or harm
Presenting an individual or their views as being representative of an entire group or
people
Running premium rate phone lines
Using hidden microphones
Making a product which offends or insults a viewer/listener/user
Falsifying information
