Media is a public practice [that is, an engagement with the world and others requiring a philosophical and practical ‘ethics’] (taken from Media One blog lecture notes).
In this lecture, Annie Lennox (not the singer, however I do wish it was) discussed the ethics surrounding copyright and the restrictions.
We discussed rights of ownership – the rules of ownership – creator/author first owner and the exceptions i.e. employer ownership/contract assignment/licence.
Duration of copyright is for 70 years however this can differ throughout the world.
In this lecture I learnt that it is incredibly important to create your own work but if you are wanting to copy/reproduce/publish/adapt something you must respect the rights of the original works and gather licenses where necessary.
