Task 3
P6
You are learning how to run a business and you also have to consider any potential legal implications of using and editing graphical images. It would be a disaster if you were taken to court and sued. Complete research into this area and write a short report summarising you findings.
Legal implications of using and editing graphical images:
'In adhering to the spirit of regulation, the ultimate aim is to protect the clients whose assets fall within the ring-fence and prevent the ring-fenced relying in government support.' Nathan Willmott.
By the laws of copyright; you are unauthorised to use any image without the copyright holders permission (this is the original owner who had created the image to begin with) , unless the image has been modified with a licence (this involves getting approval from the owner). Even if the image has been manipulated in anyway shape or form it still belongs to the owner, so the original licence of the un-edited image then here applies.
In some circumstances you can use the image for print via purchasing them from a stock image sight, this is legal as you are then purchasing the image to then use. Advertising these images without permission is classed as illegal and can result in being taken to court and sued. Plagiarism also shows that this act is completely illegal as you are using someone else's work without their permission (rather like copying for your own benefit which is irresponsible and does not create any personal advantage for the own who is doing this). Some images are copyright free so they are capable of using them legally for personal usage, it is always best to check beforehand for clarification.
In culmination, the legal implications that may cause law suits and other disasters that mainly need to be avoided are copyright issues. My findings show that copyright is the main issue that can be easily avoided by any means necessary. Copyright has been law implicated throughout many countries in the world. Renting copies for the public, broadcasting others copyrighted details can cause serious legal implications as you are using someone else's work and claiming it as your own. There are many other minor potential legal implications which are easy avoided whereas copyright needs to be avoided at all costs as the aftermath is unavoidable.
