Law: The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 says that the creators of literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic works, sound recordings, broadcasts, films and typographical arrangement of
published editions the right to control the way that their material is going to be used. This is a Civil
law not a Criminal law so if you go against it you cannot go to prison but you can be sued by the

For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works: 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which
the last remaining author of the work dies.
If the author is unknown, copyright will last for 70 years from end of the calendar year in which the
work was created, although if it is made available to the public during that time, by publication,
authorised performance, broadcast, exhibition etc, then the duration will be 70 years from the end
of the year that the work was first made available.
Sound Recordings: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was created or, if
the work is released within that time, 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work
was first released.
Films: 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last principal director, author or

which the work was first published.

LIBEL
A written, published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation.
SLANDER
Making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
Defamation is a civil law and so you would need to sue someone who you believe has damaged your
reputation.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property is having the right type of intellectual property protection helps you to stop
people stealing or copying:
Copyright, patents, designs and trademarks are all types of intellectual property protection. You get
some types of protection automatically, others you have to apply for.
If you believe anyone has stolen or copied your property you would sue them in civil court.
Privacy
The introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporated into English law the European
Convention on Human Rights. Article 8.1 of the ECHR provides an explicit right to respect for a
private life: Article 8 protects your right to respect for your private life, your family life, your home
and your correspondence (letters, telephone calls and emails, for example). Privacy Law is a law
which deals with the use of people’s personal information and making sure they aren't intruded
upon. These laws make sure people can't have their information wrongly used without permission.
The effect this has on radio:
This means that they can't tell the listeners people’s full names or any private details they don't
want revealed. For example if a viewer calls in but they don't want their name to be revealed then
they can't say it. Anyone who believes their right has been broken can make a civil claim in the
courts against those they believe have invaded their privacy.
When applying the legal principles the court will balance the claimant's right to privacy against the
right to freedom of expression. If the claimant is proved to be correct this could result in an
injunction banning publication of information; damages; and return or destruction of the material
gained from the intrusion.
Ethical
● Ethical Constraints
Rather than legal constraints, ethical issues are based on judgement which can easily be done on a
radio show as you can talk about topics which can turn personal. Therefore we must be careful in
how we express our judgement on certain things. They’re what society consider to be morally
acceptable. If something is seen to be ethically wrong then it’s first investigated to see if any laws
have been broke, to see if anything we commented on or talked about could’ve offended or
bothered anyone. However, even if we had offended anyone or created controversy on a topic it is
not illegal nor have any laws been broken despite it being seen as controversial.
