Legal Issues Homework

TV Production
Community

Legal Issues that the people behind Community would need to consider would be Intellectual Property, as the TV Show refers to a lot of creative work that they have no rights to, so they would need to gain permission from the people who created these works originally.

Social Media Campaign:

This campaign advertises a sandwhich company called "Wendy's" and at the same time advertises a competition. The competition states that there is a chance to win $1000 by tweein a photo of a sandwhich. Legal issues this campaign would need to consider would be libel issues, which means they would need to make sure the campaign does not incorporate anything which isn't true in order to attract audiences.

Digital Animation
Rick and Morty

Legal Issues Rick and Morty should consider, are Copright issues, since the whole series uses characters which are based on the two main characters in back to the future, (Rick being based on Doc, and Morty being based on Marty). They would have had to gain permission to use these characters and spoof parts of Back to the Future, and it is very likely that they have to either pay a fee or a percentage of their profit to the company that holds the rights to the characters in back to the future.

Radio Production
A bit of Fry and Laurie

Graphic novel
Deadpool: Unillustrated

Legal Issues that would need to be considered in this graphic novel would be copyright issues, since this graphics novel includes the character, Sherlock Holmes. In order for Marvel to get permission to include Sherlock, they would have needed to gain permission from the people who own the rights to Sherlock Holmes.

Digital Photographic Product

If this picture was for commercial use, the person who took the photo would need to gain permission from the people who own the empire state building.
