Law Recap Lecture Four:

Media Law - Copyright:

-    When  quoting other peoples material they must be attributed. Under certain circumstance we can use that material.
-    Clean up of copyright - their might be a parody clause in new law.
-    Intellectual property operation - IPO
-    Fair dealing - get out if jail card- allows use of material within guidelines.
-    Photographs cannot be used under fair dealing. A photographs copyright relies on consent.

-    If copyright mistakes are made, like other legal ones you won't be trusted in an organisation. Competence.
-    What's not protected? Slogans, undeveloped ideas, catchphrase. Dan brown copy right - holy grail.
-    Getting wrong will cost you money!
-    Fair dealing - for the purpose of reporting if current events we can lift the thrust of stories/quotes from rivals. Must be attributed. In hour public interest. Usage must be fair.
-    Fair dealing allows wider reporting of stories in public interest. Criticisms and reviews of material. Broadcast news obits of film stars can use their movie clips
-    Danger areas - the internet YouTube, Facebook etc. Sports coverage - news access rights. Photographs and film archive.
