Copyright is 'a legal concept giving the original creator of a piece of work exclusive rights to it'. This is applied to many forms of work, most in the entertainment industry. It means that no piece of work can be used or adapted without the permission of the initial author. Breaking this right is called copyright infringement, and is a criminal offence.
Copyright will affect us in the production of our OTS. The most significant of these difficulties is that we are not allowed to use any music, unless playing through a television or radio. Sound effects may also infringe on copyright. However as a resolution to this, we will be using foleying to produce desired effects.
