Legal Considerations
Copyright
The Copyright law originated in the United Kingdom from a concept of common law; the Statute of
Anne 1709. It became statutory with the passing of the Copyright Act 1911. The current act is the
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; so if a company was to use a product from DrDre, they would need to ask for
permission to use his product.
The outfits for the models will wear non-visible branded items however for one of the photo-shoot the
model will be wearing a band t-shirt.
Obscenity
Obscene Publications Act 1959 is an Act to amend the law relating to the publication of obscene
matter; to provide for the protection of literature; and to strengthen the law concerning pornography.
The law makes it an offence to publish, whether for gain or not, any content whose effect will tend to
“deprave and corrupt” those likely to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodies in it. This
could include images of extreme sexual activity such as: bestiality, necrophilia, rape or torture.
This law also doesn’t apply to my work either as my front covers are clean; images of a teenager
dressed in a particular way (decent), no pornographic/explicit activities.
Trespass
Trespassing on to somebody else’s land without a lawful excuse is an offence itself and is one of the
rare forms of tort claims in which a claimant can bring a claim without having to prove any damage
3. has occurred. However, it is not a criminal offence and so property owners must bring their claim in
the civil courts
This doesn’t apply to my work as all the locations are on public land
