LO3: Legal and Ethical Issues

cM1: Identify any issues and resolutions to the legal and 
ethical issues for sounds to be included in the production 
process. This should be clear and detailed.




COPYRIGHT

As I am creating an radio trail the Copyright act is important as it is a legal means of protecting work.It is a type of intellectual property that provides exclusive distribution and usage rights for the work.  This means whatever content the creator created cannot be used or distributed by anyone else without the consent of the creator.The length of copyright protection may vary from country to country, but it usually lasts for the life of the owner plus 50 to 100 years. This will ensure my radio trail is not copied, distributed or used without my permission

It is illegal for anyone to publish the work of anyone and the result in breaking the copyright law will result in a fine put £50,000. 
I will need to gain permission from potential musicians and people who may feature on my radio trail. 

DATA PROTECTION

Data protection act will allow the data my production team holds to be safe and secure , while allowing my users/ audiences to feel comfortable when giving us their personal details such as name, age, email, number etc. This will make sure the users data is used lawfully and fairly. Everyone who hold data is responsible for following the rules of 'data protection'. 

e.g. Competitions  call ins etc. Personal data is given and It is our responsibility to protect it and making our listeners comfortable.



INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT

Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time.
Without protection of ideas and businesses individuals would not fully benefits from their inventions/ ideas. Copy right and trademarks fit into the intellectual property right. The intellectual property right act benefits my radio trail and sound as it will be protected from anyone to use/ distribute without our permission.




PRS

PRS (Performing Right Society) will allow me to use music on our radio show. PRS will allow me to use my music without breaking copy right acts.

The PRS website says 
'We pay royalties to our members when their work is performed, broadcast, streamed, downloaded, reproduced, played in public or used in film and TV.'

PRS will be useful to me as any potential music/ sound will be available to feature as part of my radio trail, while I am following the copy right act/ intellectual property right act.

It is illegal to use any music/sound that does not belong to you without any permission it will be brought down and you may be fined.

ETHICAL


As our target audience is 16-24. We should not use unsuitable language or discussions such as swear words, drugs etc. This is due to majority of our audience being young and at school. Also, avoiding any homophobic, racist, sexist etc. remarks.

Intended Target Audience 

Final Script For Radio Trail

Equipment I will be using to create a radio show are equipment such as;


Hardware

• Microphone- We will need microphones to record any audio, sound for our radio, interviews, advertisements etc.

• Apple MAC- This is where all our software for recording and editing will be.

• Mixing Disk- We intend to use a mixing disk to create our jingles and ass sound effects during the radio show.

• Pop Filter- This is to be attached to the microphone to ensure the recording and speaking to the microphone is clear.

• Headphones- This is used for producers and presenters to hear what is and what was recorded.

• Speakers-  Speakers are used so producers are able to listen to what has just been produced such as sound effects and audio recorded.

Software

• Adobe Audition- This is the software that I plan to use when we finish recording for editing and adding sound to create our final radio show.

• Adobe Premiere- This is to edit video and sound. This may be used to edit any interviews that may be video recorded and added onto our radio.

• Garage- This is to record and save our radio/ audio onto , while we are speaking/ recording in the recording studio.
