Week 2- lesson 2
Legal Aspects and broadcasting codes
This lesson covered Copyright in the Multimedia
industry
The basics of copyright law in Australia.
The importance of the way in which rights
are defined in contracts dealing with the licensing and assignment of
copyright.
The basics of other rights of creators of
works. In particular, performers’ rights and moral rights, in Australia.
I was really glad to find out this information
as I have been wondering for some time as to how I should copyright various
artwork and music I have created personally. I have yet to do so, but I will go
through the process soon and have put links on here to get the copyright
process underway. I have also put down some other helpful links to do with the
film industry in the territory.

Something particularly interesting I found

right to receive revenues.
