4. According to ‘Copyright Agency’, the first owner of copyright in works created
by employees, as part of their job, is the employer. There is a special provision
in the Copyright Act, for employees of newspapers, magazines and other
periodical publications. These include staff writers, photographers and
cartoonists. There are different provisions depending on when the work was
created, because of changes in the law. This applies to VOLUME because it
allows the magazine to keep within the law and also manages to make this an
independent magazine.

5. Intellectual property (IP) is a legal definition of ideas such as inventions, artistic works (such as
Facebook, twitter and Instagram), and other commercially viable products created out of a person's
own mental processes. This is what real estate titles and bills of auction create possession of noticeable
items. This relates to VOLUME because this overview covers everything from establishing basic policies
and procedures for intellectual property protection.
This section outlines the basic steps for obtaining permission. Subsequent chapters provide more
detailed information about this process for each type of permission you may be seeking, whether for
text, photographs or music.
In general, to obtain permission, it involves a simple five-step process:
1) Determine if permission is needed.
2) Identify the owner.
3) Identify the rights needed.
4) Contact the owner and negotiate whether payment is required.
Following these steps, is how I find permission for my magazine.

6. The first step is to determine whether you need to ask for permission.
Determining whether to ask for permission depends on two questions (Is the
material protected under law? Would your use of the material violate the
law?).
It is not always possible to answer these questions with a definitive answer.
You may have to analyze the risk involved.
For Facebook and Twitter, this material would be protected under law
because of how popular these sites are. You must make sure that these social
sites will not be used in violation for the law.
7. Identifying the owner of the work you want to use is crucial to
obtaining permission.
Often, you may be able to locate the rights owner just by looking
at the copyright notice on the work (found within the
homepages of Facebook and Twitter).
Copyright ownership may have passed through several hands
since your copy of the work was published.
The method of identifying owners differs from industry to
industry
8. Each copyright owner controls a load of rights related to the work, including the right
to reproduce, distribute, and modify their work.
As there are so many rights are associated with copyrighted works, you must specify
the rights you need.
This is as simple as stating your full use — for example, you want to make a music
magazine onto Facebook and/or Twitter, you state exactly what you intend to put
within your page for these sites.
9. Contact the company concerned about the company you are making. You
need to make sure you put exactly what you are doing with no misleading
information.
You then must wait to see if the owner will allow you to legally identify your
ideas.
To contact Facebook and Twitter, there is contact informations easily found
through the help menu.
If they do then you are legally allowed to do so, if not, you must come up with
a different idea.
10. Using a company or business name, logo,
or other trademark-protected materials
in a manner that may mislead or confuse
others with regard to its brand or
business affiliation may be considered a
trademark policy violation.
If somebody would like to obtain some
permission from some very popular sites,
such as Facebook or Twitter, the steps
would be very important to obtain.
To contact the makers of Facebook and
Twitter, it is easy to contact them
through their homepage.
These sites also have information about
what should be allowed and not allowed
in-case people have questions.
11. Watermark images are used in particular images. They use clear writing of the
companies logo over the page or in the corner of the image. This makes the
image belong to the company and therefore illegal to copy the image without
permission.

12. If someone were to make a
complaint, the most official and
more easier way to do this is through
the IPSO Website. They involve a
page specifically for the public to
make official complaints:
I also emailed the IPSO asking what
they do with complaints. Within 2
days I received a reply:
Based on this research, I feel that if
there was need to make a complaint,
I could write one out and get a quick
response within a few days.

13. For my location in the corridor, I have
had to take a look to find any hazards to
be aware of. Fortunately, my location was
to take the pictures in the corridor. The
hazards I had to take care of where to
make sure the corridor was safe. For this
I made sure to arrange an appropriate
time, make sure the floor wasn’t wet
(incase Rhia or myself could slip over)
and that the corridor was clear of clutter
so then Rhia and I could not accidently
fall over any obstacles.
Here is the location where I managed to
take the images:
14. According to Entrepreneur, defending your IP through patents and other tactics, creates the
legal foundation necessary to protect your ideas and make sure other companies pay you
for use of those idea but, building a strong IP defense can take up to six years, hundreds of
hours of work and, according to industry insiders, $7,000 to $15,000 in attorney fees.
Once I’ve come up with the product name, I need to find out whether or not that name is
already being used. Searching the web for the name is the quicker, more reliable way of
doing so. If it's already being used, I will likely have to consult a trademark attorney to find
out whether or not my use is different enough from the one already in use, to justify
spending money on trying to promote a name that is going to have to be changed later.
The next step in getting permission is to identify the rights you need. Each copyright owner
controls a bundle of rights related to the work, including the right to reproduce, distribute,
and modify the work. Because so many rights are associated with copyrighted works, you
must specify the rights you need. This can be as simple as stating your intended use. Asking
for the proper rights can be a balancing act. Sometimes this requires negotiating with the
rights owner to find a middle ground for fees.

15. According to Protecting Creativity.com, Copyright is one of the main types of
intellectual property. Intellectual property allows a person to own things they create
in the same way as something physical can be owned. It is the right to prevent others
copying or reproducing someone's work. Copyright arises automatically when a work
that qualifies for protection is created. The work must be original. This means it needs
to originate with the author who will have used some judgment or skill to create the
work. Simply copying a work does not make it original. There is no need in the UK to
register copyright. When an idea is committed to paper or another fixed form, it can
be protected by copyright. It is the expression of the idea that is protected and not
the idea itself. People cannot be stopped from borrowing an idea or producing
something similar but can be stopped from copying. As a general rule, the owner of
the copyright is the person who created it. The author could be the writer, the
composer, the artist, the producer or the publisher or another creator depending on
the type of work. One important exception to this is when an employee creates a work
in the course of their employment in which case the copyright owner will be the
employer.

16. Companies have a concern to protect employees against health and safety hazards at work. Workers have the
right to know about possible dangers and to refuse work that they consider is unsafe. Workers also have a
accountability to work safely with hazardous materials.
Health and safety hazards exist in every workplace. Some are easily identified and modified, while others make
extremely hazardous circumstances that could be a risk to your life or long-term health. The best way to defend
yourself is to study to know and stop vulnerabilities in your workstation.
There are four main types of workplace hazards:
• Physical hazards are the most common risks and are current in most workplaces at some time. Examples
include: frayed electrical cords, unguarded machinery, exposed moving parts, constant loud noise,
vibrations, working from ladders, scaffolding or heights, spills, tripping hazards.
• Ergonomic hazards happen when the type of work you do, your body position and/or your working
circumstances put a stress on your body. They are hard to recognize as you don’t immediately identify the
harm they are doing to your health. Examples include: poor lighting, improperly adjusted workstations and
chairs, frequent lifting, repetitive or awkward movements.
• Chemical hazards are present when you are exposed to any chemical groundwork (solid, liquid or gas) in
the workplace. Examples include: cleaning products and solvents, vapours and fumes, carbon monoxide or
other gases, gasoline or other flammable materials.
• Biological hazards come from working with people, animals or infectious plant material. Examples include:
blood or other bodily fluids, bacteria and viruses, insect bites, animal and bird droppings.

18. The editors 16 codes are all important to my magazine because it is a important way to
know what can and cannot be said within my interviews. We need to know this otherwise
some interviews may put my magazine into legal trouble.
It is important to keep to the 16 codes so my magazine is sincere and can be trusted by the
public and the readers of the magazine. If the magazine is sincere, then VOLUME can be
known for a magazine that keeps the interviews truthful and therefore not leading the
spectators into any misconducting information.
If my magazine was unable to keep to these 16 codes then members who have been
interviewed for my magazine may be able to sue my magazine out of business through false
information and images that have not been allowed.
The hazards are important because health and safety is one of the top priorities for the
magazine – even in the location of where I will be taking my images. For example I will be
taking my pictures for the front cover and DPS, so I must take a list of hazard(s) the location
may give (risk assessment) – in this case my idea was to make sure the floor wasn’t wet.
This is important because either the model or I could slip and hurt ourselves which could
also lead to my magazine being sued.
19. These codes have been broken in the past, before
Jennifer Anniston got married, Star Magazine let
out that Jennifer Anniston was having a baby.
However this was not the case.
Jennifer Anniston had told in the interview that
she and her husband were only thinking of having
children and the magazine had twisted her words
for the magazine to give out new news that
nobody had managed to find out yet.
Soon after, OK magazine stretched the truth even
more by telling out false news that Jennifer
Anniston was having twins, a boy and a girl.
This type of information has broken many of the
16 codes. Code 1 – ‘The Press must take care not
to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted
information, including pictures’. And code 14 –
‘Journalists have a moral obligation to protect
confidential sources of information’.

20. Here is the steps I took to
create my DPS and Front Cover
using Photoshop.
As you can see I firstly cut out
the background to white (using
the mask tool), I then put
Logos, information, text and
colours around the images to
create my Front Cover and DPS.
I think in the end I managed to
go for what I planned for – it
looks neat, tidy and
professional.
To improve, I think I would
change the colour orange
slightly because I think the
orange is too bright and has a
hint of yellow in it.
21. For this unit I managed to find my locations, risks and legal/ethical issues
within my magazine print media product. I also managed to understand
finding the solutions to any risks or issues that I identified. Furthermore, I
have used my understanding of the hazards of where I am taking my pictures
for the magazine. Also I have emailed Mr Crafts to be sure that it is ok for me
to take my pictures outside his classroom in the corridor.
