Relevant legal and ethical 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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that the editors, writers and photographers who work on
the magazine will have to use and edit their own content and not use someone else's.

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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that magazines cannot discriminate against certain groups
based on age, gender, relationship status.

Intellectual property
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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it will mean that other companies can’t steal or copy any of my
ideas.

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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that the magazine can’t feature obscene images or content
without permission.

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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that I will have to have permission to use locations for
images featured in my magazine.

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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that I have to respect the private lives of those mentioned
in my magazine.

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.

How does this apply?

This applies to magazines because it means that I can’t include false statements that can be seen as
damaging to a person’s reputation.

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 as 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:

● Protecting under 18s

● Representation of age, gender, race, disability, sexuality and religion
● Using off the record information
● The power to influence public opinion
● Interviewing vulnerable people or children
● Anything that could cause offence or harm
● Presenting an individual or their views as being representative of an entire group or people
● Running premium rate phone lines
● Using hidden microphones
● Making a product which offends or insults a viewer/listener/user
● 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
