This is a CIVIL law not a CRIMINAL law.
This means that this is not a criminal offence to break the law, which could result in a jail sentence or
potential fine.
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, set by the court, to the owner of the copyright.
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:
This law prevents me from using other people’s work in my adverts. If I put a company’s logo and do
not have receive permission to use the logo in my advert they can remove the advert due to the fact
of the copyright law. In order to avoid this dilemma I will make sure I don’t break this law by taking
precautions. I will be taking my own photographs to use in my adverts. I will also create my own
slogan to use in my adverts and I will be sure to get permission to use the logo from the company.
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
Application:
This law prevents me from discriminating against certain people for their age, ethnicity, sex etc. in
my adverts. However I will not break this law as my adverts will be aimed towards all types of people
and will not discriminate against anybody.
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 law prevents me from damaging anyone’s reputation in my adverts. The only way this can apply
to my adverts is if I show my models in a negative light in my adverts.
Trespass:
Application:
This law prevents me from trespassing onto land which I have not received permission to go on. I will
ensure I don’t break this law by taking my photos for my adverts in public area which I have access
to or if I go on private land I will get permission to do so first.
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.
Application:
This law prevents me from taking photos of people for my adverts without their permission. I will
not break this law as I will be taking photos for my adverts in areas which are not busy because the
only person I want in my adverts is my model. And I will receive permission from my model before
taking the photos.
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.
If you believe anyone has stolen or copied your property you would sue them in civil court.
Application:
This law prevents me from using company logos in my adverts which I have not received permission
to use, this applies to the clothing my model is wearing. I will ensure I do not break this law by
covering logos and will receive permission from the charity to use their logo.
Ethical constraints
One ethical problem that I could cause in my adverts is only having one model of one gender and
one race which could cause controversy as it could connote that the charity only aims their clothes
at specific people. However this is not true. Therefore if I were doing this professionally I would use
several models of different genders and races.
Codes of practice
Misleading:
This means I cannot advertise clothing which is not sold in the charity shop e.g. I cannot advertise
brand new clothing as my charity shop will only sell second hand clothing.
3.17-Price statements must not mislead by omission, undue emphasis or distortion. They must relate
to the product featured in the marketing communication.
This prevents me from providing misleading prices in my adverts. I will not break this as I will provide
completely realistic prices.
Privacy:
6.1-Marketers must not unfairly portray or refer to anyone in an adverse or offensive way unless
that person has given the marketer written permission to allow it. Marketers are urged to obtain
written permission before:
referring to or portraying a member of the public or his or her identifiable possessions; the use of a
crowd scene or a general public location may be acceptable without permission
referring to a person with a public profile; references that accurately reflect the contents of a book,
an article or a film might be acceptable without permission
implying any personal approval of the advertised product; marketers should recognise that those
who do not want to be associated with the product could have a legal claim.
Prior permission might not be needed if the marketing communication contains nothing that is
inconsistent with the position or views of the featured person.
This means I cannot treat anyone in an offensive way in my adverts by showing them in a negative
way unless I receive permission to do so. I will ensure I do not break this rule by receiving permission
from my model to take the photos.
This means I cannot show images of violence in my adverts as it may encourage violence. I
will avoid this by not including any portrayals of violence in the images I use.
This means I have to follow all laws, ensure what my advert displays is honest and not
misleading.
