Relevant legal and ethical issues

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.

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: I will avoid breaking this law by making sure I don’t use anyone else's
photographs for the front cover, contents page or articles. I will also not use someone
else's magazine name, I will create my own title and take my own pictures and use my
own people, i will also make sure my articles will be my own content written and
chosen by me and not copy and paste another magazines article.

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: I will avoid breaking this law by being equal to anyone taking part in the
production of the magazine. For example, i will use multiple ages within the target
audience and I will also make sure to use both female and male, different sexualities,
race including colour so it shows the magazine isn’t for just certain people. Doing this
means i’m being fair to everyone and treating everyone equally.

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.

Automatic protection

Protection you have to apply for

Type of Time to allow for
Examples of intellectual property

Trademarks Product names, logos, jingles 4 months
Registered Appearance of a product including, shape, packaging, patterns,
1 month
designs colours, decoration
Inventions and products, eg machines and machine parts, tools,
Patents Around 5 years
medicines

Application: I will avoid breaking this law by making sure not use any branded
property. For example, I will not use pictures with logos in them whether they be on
clothes or on shops and i also won’t mention any names of intellectual property like
for example, Apple or McDonalds. I won’t use any inventions that don’t belong to me
as everything used in the magazine like the fonts, colours scheme and text won’t be
used anywhere else. Logos used in the magazine will be created and owned by me.
The masthead will be original and won’t exist on a magazine anywhere else.

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: I will avoid breaking this law by making sure all my photos are
appropriate for the target audience, that means not using nudity or any graphic
violence that could affect the audience. I won’t use any bad language like swearing or
inappropriate. Doing this will make my magazine appropriate to students and will
available to younger audience like 16-18 years old as this is my target audience and
towards students and the magazine will be related to the genre and nothing else.

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:

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: I will avoid breaking this law by making sure I keep any model or
interviewee information safe and secret, I will not post any private information like
their address or personal secrets unless they give me permission, I will also ask for
permission before taking their photo or interviewing them so I don’t put them in the
magazine without their consent. Doing this will keep their identity safe and make sure
the only information in the magazine is what they have allowed.
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: I will avoid breaking this law by making sure that I don’t use false written
statements against someone in which it could ruin someone’s reputation, this is
called libel defamation. I will not say anything bad about the people used either to
take pictures of or anyone interviewed or anyone stories are written about. Doing this
will make sure I don't affect someone reputation. Libel defamation is what applies to
my magazine because there will not be anything spoken in the magazine only written.
This applies because I won’t write anything in the magazine to go against someone.

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.

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
Ø Falsifying information

Relevant regulatory bodies

Each media industry has its own regulatory body which has a code of conduct and rules
which all media practitioners follow:
BBFC
ASA
OfCom
IPSO

Application: I will apply this to my magazine, I will protect under 18’s by not using
their name or personal information unless given permission to do so like if i’m
interviewing them. I will use multiple different ages within the target audience and
also both genders because the magazine is for both and I also won’t discriminate
against sexuality, disability or religion. I will not influence with my own option. I can
interview people who are vulnerable but with their permission and not talking about
any sensitive topics such graphic violence. My magazine will not include any false
statements about anyone to protect them otherwise I could be sued. Finally, I won’t
use any false information like their names, if they don’t want their names mentioned
then I won’t use them and I won’t add any expensive phone numbers and advertise
people to call them or add any hidden microphone to get footage that the interviewee
doesn’t want out.
