copy right law and FAC key demands



The FAC has taken a markedly different stance from the 'traditional music industry' on several key issues such as copyright term extension and, in particular, online piracy where the FAC has argued against 'criminalising fans' through prosecuting not for profit file sharing of music.

It lists the following six as its key demands:
  • An agreement by the music industry that artists should receive fair compensation whenever their business partners receive an economic return from the exploitation of the artists’ work.
  • All transfers of copyright should be by license rather than by assignment.
  • The ‘making available’ right should be monetized on behalf of featured artists and all other performers.
  • Copyright owners to be obliged to follow a ‘use it or lose it’ approach to the copyrights they control.
  • The rights for performers should be improved to bring them more into line with those granted to authors (songwriters, lyricists and composers).
  • A change to copyright law which will end the commercial exploitation of unlicensed music purporting to be used in conjunction with ‘critical reviews’ and abusing the UK provisions for ‘fair dealing'.
It has also worked in concert with the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and the Music Producers Guild in campaigns to protect rights of performers and musicians and for "artists to have more control of their music and a much fairer share of the profits".

ABOUT

I've found a second group I could interview it's the featured artist foundation  -
The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) was founded in 2009 to support, promote and protect the artist community in the music industry.


Community
The FAC nurtures a community of artists and provides support, advice, and education in order to empower artist entrepreneurs in the ever-evolving music industry. This includes running workshops, mentoring and networking sessions for our members.

Advocacy 
The FAC functions as a collective voice, actively promoting transparency and fairness within the industry. Artists possess a persuasive voice in influencing political debates, so the FAC ensures that voice is heard by government and policymakers in the UK, USA, and EU.
Within the music industry, the FAC encourages better standards and business practices from record labels, music publishers, and other business partners.  The FAC has secured a seat on the board of UK Music, an umbrella organization that brings together all sides of the music industry.  This ensures the artist's voice is heard at the highest level and on an equal footing alongside labels and other stakeholders.
The FAC is also at the heart of umbrella artist organization IAO (International Artist Organisation) in order to unite artists on an international level.

Thought Leadership
As music and technology evolve, the FAC considers emerging forms of creative expression and new and innovative ways for artists to earn a living from what they do. The FAC works positively with the technology sector to stand up for the artist’s position while identifying solutions and opportunities to enhance the options available to artists

lesson 2 - broadcast journalism

Offcome is the broadcast regulator, it regulates tv, radio, and mobile phones.
Ipso regulates magazines and news article

Similarities between the Ofcom broadcasting code and IPSO code of practice five similarities between Ofcom and IPSO.

Ofcom                IPSO

To ensure that broadcasters avoid any unwarranted infringement of privacy in programs and in connection with obtaining material included in programs.

Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health, and correspondence, including digital communications.


Any infringement of privacy in programs, or in connection with obtaining material included in programs, must be warranted.

Editors will be expected to justify intrusions into any individual's private life without consent. Account will be taken of the complainant's own public disclosures of information.


If the broadcast of a program would infringe the privacy of a person or organization, consent should be obtained before the relevant material in broadcast, unless the infringement of privacy is warranted. (Callers to phone-in shows are deemed to have given consent to the broadcast of their contribution.

 It is unacceptable to photograph individuals, without their consent, in public or private places where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

similarities between Ofcom and IPSO 
Both Ofcom and IPSO share the same principles and punishment for privacy, they both ask that you get permission for whoever you interview or record and if you don't then it's considered a violation of privacy, they also say there are some exceptions from this rule as long as you provide reasonable justification.Both Ofcom and IPSO also have similar principles around working with under 16s, they both say you must get permission from the parents or legal guardian of whoever you interview they also say you can not be discriminative towards someone or a group/community based on things like race, gender, or religion.

The both have rules about paying criminals or give out info of criminals or their family or try to force or harass information out of someone, They both state you shouldn't pursue information or material when asked not to. however, you can obtain information through misrepresentation as long as it's in the public's interest.
