Legal
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.
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:

i don't get copyrighted i will take my own photographs. I will come up with my own outfit
/fashion ideas and locations so that I avoid being fined or taken to court.
APPLICATION:
The equality act may affect my magazine cover as I will be fair to all of the people in this list.
I won't set out to discriminate people. However if anyone feels like I am discriminating
against them and complain, if i am found guilty then I could either get sent to jail or get fined.
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 trade marks 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.
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
APPLICATION:
This affects my work as I have to take photographs with potential branded clothing, to avoid
this I will make sure you can see the logo of the clothing. If I believe that anyone is copying
my work then it is up to me to take them to court as this is a civil law.
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.
APPLICATION:
This law could apply to my magazine front cover as I will be taking photographs and
producing them. I will make sure that i don’t break this law as I will not take any rude or
inappropriate photos thats are not deemed suitable for the public eye.
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:
This will affect my magazine photoshoot as I will ask permission before taking photographs if
I am using private lands which i am not. However if I do trespass it is up to the owner of the
land to take me and my model(s) to court as this is a civil law.
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.
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:
I asked the my model if I could use them on my magazine front cover and if my model
wouldn’t let me then I didn't take photos of them. However if they did give me permission to
take pictures then I took photos with their permission. I had the model sign a model release
form to get legal permission to use them on my magazine front cover.
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 my magazine front cover because there will be writing on the magazine. I
won’t set out to ruin the reputation of anyone by libel, if anyone feels as though I am
damaging their reputation it is up to that person to take me to court as this is a civil law.
Ethical
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.
Ethical concerns which come into media production are things such as:
Ø Protecting under 18s
Ø Representation of age, gender, race, disability, sexuality and religion
Ø Using off the record information
Ø The power to influence public opinion
Ø Interviewing vulnerable people or children
Ø Anything that could cause offence or harm
Ø Presenting an individual or their views as being representative of an entire group
or people
Ø Running premium rate phone lines
Ø Using hidden microphones
Ø Making a product which offends or insults a viewer/listener/user
APPLICATION:
The ethical constraints on my magazine front covers will be that I will try to use both
genders, disabled + abled, sexulality, religion, will protect the under 18s, I will try to do this
so this way i am not discriminating purposefully. I will not stereotype any of my models so
that they are not representing an entire group of people. I will not set up to disrespect
anyone as I may have the power to influence public opinion.
