What is the role of the copyright and trademarks act?
they regulate all types of media, including television and films.
what is the role of Ofcom?
ofcom are an "independant regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries"
they will be monitoring the use of illegal downloads and enforcing consequences for those people.
How do you think downloading tv programmes and films for free have effected the tv and film industries?
the money that would be spent on buying the films, or the television episodes in shops, is then not being spent because the downloading is free. the industries are then losing out on money.
do you agree with the new copyright proposal on downloading set out by ofcom? why?
i dont agree that this is a good system to enforce, because the people that only download for personal use shouldnt be punished. those that plan on distributing their illegal downloads and recieving a profit for it should be caught and fined.
