To avoid any copyright infringements a PRS licence will be purchased as we will be using music, references to programs and possibly examples of programs such as our main talking point 'One Point' however we would of had to gain permission for intellectual property whether or not they are signed to a record label, such as the music that is to be used. A PRS license would allow us to use the intellectual property of artists and bands with of course the permission of the intellectual property holder. This would cost £240 annually.
Legal and Ethical Issues;
The legal and ethical issues we would have to watch out for are things such as profane language and discriminatory representations (discrimination), such as drugs, sex and women. We also have to be specifically careful to ensure we do not mock or offend people as some 'anime' which is the focus of our audio media product can seem offensive and derogative. We will counter-act this by ensuring that we do all the possible research we can to ensure we are not representing an abusive or discriminating or offensive anime. Another method that we would use to counter-act the above issues is the method of production, pre-recorded i.e because it was all pre-recorded we could edit the audio and not have any problems with the above issues and because of this we wouldn't have any issues with interviews or any other audio recording.
As our product is based on anime and cartoons, we must be careful to not feature sound clips etc from the shows, as this is owned by the creators of the show and we could be sued for using it without permission. We also need to make sure that any profane language and discriminatory representations such as sexuality, drugs and gender must be edited out as our show will be released before the watershed (9pm) and also could cause unrest and offend people listening.
