Rights are an essential part of television and the media - but what are they really and how are they created? What is happening that changes what you can do with them? Question and discuss what forms a right and all about the rights issues for non broadcast programmes or publishing on any one of the platform from print to the iPhones...

To demystify Rights we will learn about the fundamentals - what is a right and why did they come into existence - and a brief look at UK and Europe law As most broadcasters have a fixed position on rights - we will be discussing and finding out about will look at rights which exist and the issues that need to be aired for non broadcast use - whether this is first corporate video you have produced or the short film on Vimeo which you wrote and directed.
