My Illegal And Very Naughty Music Download
1. What is the role of the copyright and trademarks act(2002)?
2. What is the role of Ofcom?
Ofcom is the communications regulator. We regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms and mobiles, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate.
3.How do you think downloading TV programs and films for free have affected TV and film industries? find facts to back your case.
if people dont buy the films distributed by the industries it means they dont get the money to fund their movies and won't be able to make more movies for us. also actors won't get paid and won't act in films or tv shows and then they will go bankrupt and nobody will ever get to watch a film again :) and the end. dont do it.
4.Do you agree with the new copyright download proposal set out by Ofcom? Why?
no, people will still find a way to download music so it wont make that much difference
This Act amends the criminal provisions in intellectual property law, more specifically the law relating to copyright, rights in performances, fraudulent reception of conditional access transmissions by use of unauthorised decoders and trade marks. The Act brings about some rationalisation of these criminal provisions by removing some of the differences. The three areas in which rationalisation is provided by the Act are maximum penalties for certain offences in intellectual property law, police search and seizure powers relating to offences and court orders on forfeiture of illegal material that may have been seized during investigation of offences. The Act does not make any changes to the scope of criminal offences in intellectual property law so that the type of behaviour that can give rise to an offence remains the same.

Illegal Downlading - Censorship and Regualtion
What is the role of the 2002 Copyright and Tradesmark Act?
The role of this act is the current protection of copyrighted material. This means that the creators works is 'supposedly' protected against anyone claiming at their own. Copyright is a type of ownership. This Act should effectively protect the creators work against illegal download and distribution, however this frequently does not happen.
What is the role of Ofcom?
The role of Ofcom is the communications regulator. They regulate the TV and radio sectors, fixed line telecoms and mobiles, plus the airwaves over which wireless devices operate. In the future they may be in charge of detecting and regulating illegal downloads.
How has downloading TV programmes and Films for free affected TV and Film industries?
This has affected these industries very negatively as they do not get the money or market they should for the creations. This means that they may not get the credit that they deserve, and therefore they don't make the money that the should be making.
Do you agree in the new copyright law proposal on downloading set out by Ofcom? why?
No we do not really agree with this because so many people take part in downloading for their own personal use which we believe should be legal. The limit of three times in a year is way to low considering the amount people download and we think that this could cause a lot of hassle from the people who listen to music and watch TV and Films online and also for the ISP's that will have to check though their customers' internet usage. We also think that if the ISP's are being made to monitor our download history then this is an invasion of privacy and isn't this an Act in its self?

Copyright
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.

Illegal downloads
We partially agree with this statement, because although this infringes the reproduction act it is more sensible to download a TV show for your own use because it's socially acceptable and widely done. You're not intending on making any profit on it or for public use.
We do not agree with this statement as you are abusing and undermining the company which produced the program. Making money from something which is an unoriginal concept and that has been pre-made is immoral and unacceptable. This brakes the infringement and distribution laws regarding media companies passed in 1998.
Illegal Downloading
Question : Downloading a particular TV show for personal use is ok?
Answer: We think that this is acceptable because it is only for personal use, so your not making any money of it and TV is free anyways. Channels have also introduced websites such as 4OD and BBC iplayer for this purpose already. However, this is still illegal so should not be done, although we do not see a problem with it and think that it should be made legal if it is only for personal use and not distribution and selling.
Question: Is it ok if i download TV programme, watch it then give it to my friend in exchange for money?
Answer: We believe that this is not ok because the person downloading it is distributing the TV programme and earning money from it when they do not own the copyright to do this. The money for the programme should go to the original creator.
