Round 2: Quick Fire

1. • Copyright protects original creative work automatically
   • A trade mark protects a brand identifier, such as a logo
   Model answer

   Copyright protects original creative work, such as a photograph or a song, automatically from the moment it is made. A trade mark protects a brand identifier, such as a logo, name or slogan.

2. • It is protected by copyright automatically
   • Permission or a licence is needed
   Model answer

   The image is protected by copyright automatically, even with no mark on it, so it belongs to its creator. The designer needs permission or a licence, such as a Creative Commons licence whose terms allow this use, or must pay for one.

3. • A model release is written consent from an identifiable person
   • Location permission is the owner's agreement to film on their property
   Model answer

   A model release is written consent from each identifiable person to use their image, and children need a parent's consent. Location permission is the owner's agreement to film on their property, without which the crew could be removed or sued.

4. • The target rating is planned from the start
   • Content that raises a rating is structural, so it cannot be cut later
   Model answer

   A target rating, such as 12A, has to be designed for from the start, because content that would push it to a 15 is usually structural, part of the story, so it cannot simply be cut out later without reshooting.

Round 3: Big Think

1. • The song needs a licence
   • Usually two, for the recording and the composition, or a royalty free track
   • Identifiable customers must sign model releases
   • Children need a parent's consent
   • The owner must give location permission
   • The photo is protected by copyright automatically
   • A promotional video is commercial use, ruling out NC licences
   • Licences recorded in an asset table, or a conclusion
   Model answer

   The pop song is protected by copyright, so it needs a licence, usually two: one for the recording and one for the composition; a royalty free track would be cheaper. Customers who can be identified need to sign model releases giving consent, and any children need a parent or guardian's consent. The café owner's location permission is needed to film inside. The photo found online is protected by copyright automatically, so its licence must be checked: a promotional video is commercial use, so a CC BY-NC image cannot be used. Overall, every asset should be recorded with its licence in an asset table before the video is published.

2. • The game needs a PEGI age rating
   • The target rating shapes its content
   • The ASA regulates the advert, so it must not mislead
   • Ofcom's broadcast standards decide when it can be shown
   • The leaderboard's data falls under the Data Protection Act
   • A privacy notice, the right to deletion, and the ICO
   • All music and artwork must be licensed
   • Other laws, such as the Computer Misuse Act or Equality Act
   Model answer

   The game needs a PEGI age rating, and the rating it aims for shapes its content from the start. The TV advert is regulated by the ASA, so its claims must not be misleading, and Ofcom's broadcast standards decide when it can be shown, for example before 9pm only if suitable. The online leaderboard collects personal data, so the Data Protection Act applies: a privacy notice must say what is collected and why, players can ask for their data to be deleted, and the ICO enforces it. All music and artwork must be licensed to avoid copyright infringement, and the Computer Misuse Act makes hacking the leaderboard an offence.
