Tv Production: One of the legal issues that 'The Ellen Show' would have to consider would be Slander because she interviews celebrities on a talk show and she has to be careful that she doesn't use defamatory language towards any of them by manipulating what they have said because this would ruin the celebrities reputation. Another legal issue that applies to this show is the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act which means that the owners of Ellen have to protect their shows format. A regulatory issue they would have to make sure they didn’t break would be the rule of practise by OFCOM in which the public along side the OFCOM team decide if something is appropriate to be on the TV when children are watching. For example, if the Ellen show was aired pre water shed and involved bad language then they could be fined or they could have to write a letter of apology to the public because there may be children watching. They also need to make sure that all the content shown is ethical to the public. This means that it doesn’t offend anyone so therefore doesn't feature any form of for example, racism or sexism being spoken by Ellen or whoever she is interviewing. They could receive a lawsuit if they didn’t comply to these rules and regulations.
Social Media Campaign: One of the legal issues that Donald Trump has to consider is Libel because he writes tweets on twitter about the different countries and the different races and has been know for racism. He has to be careful because it damages peoples reputations and he could therefore face a law suit. Another legal issue he would face would be the Data Protection Act because he will be made aware by security of certain individuals who could be dangerous and he could release there information on social media before it is made aware to the public which could mean that he is prosecuted or would have to pay a fine. A regulatory issue he would have to be aware of would be to what extent his speech is free without offending anyone. If he does and the W3C are notified then he will be given guidance by them. Donald Trump needs to be careful with regards to using racismonline because this is unethical and will ruin his reputation. His posts will be taken down if this happens and he could face a ban from the internet.
Digital Animation: One of the legal issues that Dreamworks has to consider is the Intellectual Property Act because they have to be careful that they don’t copy ideas from Walt Disney Company or Universal. If they do and the product or idea isn’t marked for fair use they could receive a fine. Another legal issue that dreamworks would have to consider would be copyright designs and patent act because it protects an invention such as a character. The legal issue they would have to consider during pre production is what age rating they put on the film. This will be regulated by the BBFC who will decide whether this age rating is appropriate for the audience. If it isn’t appropriate at the age rating Dreamworks think it is because of, for example, bad language then the rating will be changed to a higher rating in order to protect the audience.
Radio Production: One of the legal issues that the BBC have to consider is slander because they're interviewing people on a public platform. They have to make sure that they don’t make false statements about a person when interviewing them or talking about them on the radio as this would ruin their reputation and could cause a lawsuit. Another legal issue they would have to consider would be the Freedom of information act because the public is entitled to public’s sectors organisations information. The time the show is aired will be regulated by ofcom who decide whether the time of day is fit for the audience. For example, if sex is mentioned then it will need to be post watershed so that no children here and no complaints are made as this could lead to a fine. An ethical issue that Dremworks needs to consider is making sure that the film can be viewed in different languages so that it reaches a wider audience and doesn’t discriminate against a certain country and the way they speak.
Graphic Novel: One of the legal issues that the Superman Grahic Novel would have to consider would be the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act because this protects the invention of superman and the invention of the story in the comic. They would have to make a contract so that nobody else uses it. They would also have to consider the data protection act as people may sign up for a subscription using there personal details such as there bank details and their address. The company would have to encrypt this information so that it isn’t reachable by anybody else. If they do not and this information; is leaked they could face a huge lawsuit and a very big fine. This would be regulated by IPSO who make sure that magazines are suitable for their audience and that the editors have conformed with editors code. This will be based on public opinion and can cause a fine or a lawsuit. An ethical issue that the comic will need to consider will be the characters in the comic and how they look. In order to make the most profit, the comic should include characters from different backgrounds and different origins so that it appeals to everyone.
Digital Photographic Product: One of the legal issues that Micheal Malloy and his online photography portfolio would have to consider would be the Intellectual Property act alongside the Copyright Designs and Patents Act. They would both need to be considered so that Micheal is only using his own work so that he doesn’t get in trouble for using copyrighted images which belong to someone else and that his pictures are protected so that only certain people can use them. A regulatory issue he would have to consider would be how he captions his images as he is entitled to free speech however this has to lie within certain regions so that he doesn’t offend anyone. If he does and the W3C are notified then he would receive advice on how not to break this regulation again. Ethical issues he would have to consider is who he is photography. For example,if all of his pictures which are part of industry photography were all on white men then the audience is going to become a lot slimmer in size because he isn’t thinking about different backgrounds, religions and genders. Because the website can be viewed by anyone it would be to his advantage to do this.
