Trespass
Trespassing is to unlawfully interfere with someone elses property. The
Law of Trespassing make it so that you can only enter a certain location if
granted permission by the owner. If you are caught trespassing then you
could be taken to a civil court by the owner and possibly fined.
I will not be breaking the trespass law as I will not be venturing onto
private property to take my pictures. All images will be taken on my own
property therefore I dont need permission.
Intellectual Property Rights
The Intellectual Property Rights help you prevent people from stealing any
creations of the mind. This mean that people cannot take any original
ideas/work from you without your permission. The most common form of
intellectual Property Rights is patents, copyright and trademarks, which
enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they
invent or create.
Source of information
All ideas will be of my own creation during every aspect of this project
therefore I will not be breaking the Intellectual Property Rights. If I were to
use anybody elses ideas then I would ask for permission first.
Discrimination (Equality Act)
The act of discrimination is to single out a minority (weather that be due
to their age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity etc.) in a negative light due to
prejudice.
I will be using both males and females in my magazine covers so as to not
to exclude one gender. If I were to take my magazine further then I would
be able to include a multitude of different races, ages, sexualities etc.
Trademark
A trademark is a recognisable sign or logo that easily identifies a brand.
As with Copyright if you are found using someone else's trademarks
without their permission you would be sued.
Obscene Publications
This is an act that stops people from publishing images (profit or nonprofit) that may be deemed obscene in the eyes of the law. This could
include images of extreme sexual activity such as bestiality, necrophilia,
rape or torture. If you break this act then you could again face a fine or a
custodial sentence.
Source of information
My pictures will not feature anything that could be seen as obscene and
offensive for my audience.
