Relevant legal and ethical issues

. Legal,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.

This law applies to my photoshoot as it stops me from copying the ideas

or images from other photographers, vice versa with my photos and
ideas. It is unfair to copy others work as their work is from their own
creativity, so only they should share their own thoughts through their
own products.

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 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:
Ø created it (and it meets the requirements for copyright, a patent or a design
Ø bought intellectual property rights from the creator or a previous owner
Ø 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 Example of intellectual property Time to allow for
protection application

Trademarks Product name, logos, jingles & games 4 months

Registered Appearance of a product including, shape, 1 month

Designs packaging, patterns, colours & decoration

Patents Inventions & products e.g. machine parts, tools, Around 4 years
medicines

This law applies to my photoshoot as it stops me from illegally using

copyright by using other photographers ideas from their images, for
example if I use someone elses logo in my image or take the exact
same photo as another photographer.

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
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

This law applies to my photoshoot as it means that I can’t ethically

offend anyone/society in my images. For example there should be no
representation of racism, as in previous professional photoshoots there
have been cases of changing model’s skin colour with editing which was
perceived by some viewers as racist.
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.
This applies to my photoshoot as people could trespass onto my land
e.g. garden when I am taking the photos.
Ethical
The target audience for my magazine is going to be for teenagers;
female and male. Therefore I need to make sure that the body language
of the model and what the photos are representing are appropriate for
under 18’s.
