1.4 - Explain how regulations may affect the use of copyright materials


How do regulations affect the use of copyright materials?

The Copyright Act 1911 
Copyright is a legal contract that grants the creator of an original work the rights to its distribution. This allows someone’s idea to be protected and so somebody else cannot take that idea and claim it to be their own. This could be through copying files illegally. If you produced the TV show or film, then you would normally obtain the rights to, or gain permission to use, the works required to make the production.
