Legal 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: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS I WILL TRY AND NOT COPY ANY
ONE ELSE’S PHOTOGRAPHS. THIS INCLUDES OUTFITS AND LOCATIONS. I WILL USE
MY OWN IDEAS SO I DO NOT COPY ANYONE ELSE’S WORK AS I COULD BE FINED
AS IT IS AGAINST THW LAW.

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: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY BECAUSE I WILL TRY AND USE A

DIVERSE RAGE OF PHOTOGRAPHS SO IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE. THIS WILL BE
DIFFERENT RACES AND ETHNICITIES. THIS WILL THEN REACH OUT TO A LARGER
AUDIENCE SO IT DOES NOT CAUSE RACIAL OFFENCES.

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 trade marks 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.

APPLICATION: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS YOU CANNOT COPY ANY

OTHER CONTENT FROM ANYONE ELSE’S PHOTOGRAPHY SO I WILL COME UP WITH
MY OWN IDEAS AND OUTFITS.

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: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS I WILL KEEP MY IMAGES

APPROPIRATE TO MY TARGET AUDIENCE BY NOT TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF
EXPLICIT, NUDE OR VIOLENT IMAGES.

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 APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS I WILL NOT TAKE ANY

PHOTOGRPAHS ON PRIVATE LAND UNLESS I HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE
OWNERS OF THAT LAND. THIS COULD CAUSE A HIGH FINE AS IT IS AGAINST THE
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.

APPLICATION: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS I WILL NOT EXPOSE ANY

INFORMATION MY MODELS DO NOT WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT THEM IN MY
COVERLINES, I WILL ALSO NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING IN MY PHOTOGRAPHS THAT
MY MODELS DO NOT WANT ME TO USE, FOR EXAMPLE I WILL NOT PHOTGRAPH
THEIR REGISTRATION PLATE.

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 PHOTOGRAPHY AS WHEN EDITING MY IMAGES I

WILL NOT USE ANY COVERLINES THAT MAY DAMAGE MY MODELS REPUATATION
AND OFFEND ANYONE READING MY MAGAZINE. THEREFORE I WILL USE FORMAL
LANGUAGE AND NOT USE ANY BAD LANGUAGE, THIS WILL ALSO APPLY IN MY
INTERVIEWS.

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: THIS APPLIES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AS WHEN I TAKE IMAGES I WILL

THINK ABOUT WHAT IMAGES SOCIETY WILL THINK ARE ACCEPTABLE SO NO ONE
CAUSES OFFENCE FROM MY IMAGES.
