Sources Brainstormed 2013 Typical Sources for Assets Include: World Wide Web Clipart Libraries Libraries Software Appz to create own assets Take Pictures / Record Assets yourself Scan own artwork / own photographs Books Media (cassettes / VHS / CDs / DVDs) Facts from people in the know Own background knowledge

Legal Implications Copyright Designs and Patent Act (1998) Prohibits the download and use of copyrighted music, images and other assets, Computer Misuse Act (1990) Prohibits the unauthorised access to information, assets and other materials stored on computer systems Data Protection Act (1998) When images of people are taken and stored electronically for non personal use then you are responsible for keeping these safely PCCs Editors Code of Conduct Rule 6 has specific guidance about the acquisition and publication of pictures / articles about children, Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994) Prohibits trespass on property owned by somebody else so you can only photograph on private land if you have permission from the owner to be on it Human Rights Act (1998) Have to respect peoples private and family life – need to really be intrusive for it to apply.

Avoiding Legal Implications 1 Avoid plagiarism rewrite in own words, Avoid copyrighted material use copyright free material, create it yourself – drawing tools, photos, keyboard / music software, record sounds, shoot video….. There is no law against anyone taking pictures of people in a public place as long as the person using the camera is not harassing people – ICO April 23 rd 2009 If you need to photograph something on private land – either take the photo from a public place or ask the landowners permission – don’t trespass, Publishing photos which shows people in a bad light or which manipulate the truth could result in you being sued,

Avoiding Legal Implications 2 Copyright of photographs belongs to the taker and as long as the pictures taken are not libellous or acquired illegally then you are ok to publish them, Although publishing images of children is not illegal you should really gain permission their parents, Don’t stalk people and be intrusive to get photos otherwise you could fall fowl of the Human Rights Act (1998), Ask permission to use copyrighted material, Acknowledgment of all sources.
