People involved with television must be extremely aware that when they produce content for an audience, that they do not break any broadcasting rules due to copyright laws. When producing television programmes for an audience, an especially a larger audience, the providers must ensure that they dont include any copyrighted material within the programmes. To ensure certain types of music, or brands can be included within the programmes, certain fees should be made to the owner of the copyrighted material. Copyright applies to many different things, including publishing photographs upon the internet, making a sound recording of any book or magazine, paintings of photographs, and obviously the main ones including brands, and music copyright.
Defamation is the act of making a statement which may give an individual, group, company, product or religion a negative or inferior image. This can be also any disparaging statement made by one person about another, which is communicated or published, whether true or false, depending on legal state. Obviously some types of television programmes aren't suitable for everyone, due to certain material, such as sexual scenes, and blood and action, producers are given their content a certification process, which decides what age groups TV shows and movies should be portrayed too, U being for absolutely anybody, PG being parental guidance needed, 12A is anyone over the age of 12, or younger, but they must be accompanied by an adult, 15 being anyone from the ages 15 and above, and obviously 18 being people ages 18 and older. The BBC has a set of editorial guidelines, which apply to any sort of content in which the BBC produce and publish, or anyone who has contributed towards it.
High Crimes is subject to fairly strict copyright guidelines, the film is a product from the warner brothers studios, the main reasoning behind the guidelines is that they are to protect the film itself, and any advertisement and media related products, such as toys, merchandise, and movie posters, so they do not copied by another company, or get illegally sold. The High Crimes movie received an official certificate before its release, this allows the film to be categorized for future references, mainly so retailers dont get the genre mixed up, but also for any rewards the film may receive, also the certificate allows them to indicate a specific target audience for the film to its viewers, so that it is seen by an appropriate age range. Doctor is mainly broadcast before 9pm, its mainly aimed at people of any age range, however, when making the programme, the producers must take into consideration the violence levels, sexual content, and use of inappropriate language, no legal constrains currently apply to the BBC's doctor who series, however they are in the BBC editiorial guidelines. The one show is an official product of the BBC, so therefore it fits the editorial guidelines perfectly, its made as appropriately as possible to its viewers, and it makes sure its entire content is appropriate for all of their audience. The same guidelines are included in which they ensure the programmes merchandise, and online availability isn't illegally mistreated and sold illegally.
