Copyright is a legal right created by the lawmakers of a country which grants the creator of the original work exclusive rights to the distribution of it. A PRS License will cost £300 which is needed for the Punk is Dead show. It will allow us to play all the copyrighted music that we would need to play on the show. This is vital as we will be playing music from signed record labels, like The Clash and The Seeds, as well we will use jingles that use music from signed and popular artists so we will need the PRS license and possibly permission from the label. For unsigned bands we will need permission from the artist, and we would need to check if they are signed up to PRS for the money that the band would earn from the content we play. This would be obtained from the advertisements on the show. However Sheffield Live! will have a PRS license.
We will abide by OFCOM regulations by not being offensive, this includes no racism, sexism and discriminate content. We also would not promote inappropriate material and/or activity. We will not use explicit language, even though our show is not targeted at younger people, due to the time we will air the show, it means children may be listening, so it would be incredibly irresponsible to use inappropriate language.
Our Phone-ins, quizzes and interviews will be recorded before the show. If any language that will break OFCOM rules is used then we will either edit it out, or if it is too drastic we will not use that voice clip in the show so that we receive no repercussions from OFCOM. All legal and ethical issues will be addressed at production meetings that will happen before the show, so that we are very clear on the content we will be putting out to the public.

LO5 Contingency Plans
Equipment:
If for whatever reason we were unable to use Sheffield Live's equipment, we would first approach our college and ask them if we could use any of their equipment for the broadcast of our radio show. If this is not possible, we would have to wait until the equipment in Sheffield Live studios is available for use then rearrange a date. However, if the equipment still cannot be used by us we may even have to purchase our own equipment from our written equipment list, which will be very costly due to the large budget.
Presenters:
If one of the presenters of our show were to drop out of a broadcasting date, due to them being ill or somehow unable to make it to the studios, we would have to try and broadcast with only one of the presenters, and try and make the show as entertaining as possible using the same tracks and content as planned. If an interviewee we needed for the show were to drop out, we may need to quickly find new content to broadcast for that particular show to fill that segment. If one of the presenters permanently dropped out of the show for good, we would need to find a temporary replacement for that presenter until further notice.
Broadcasting Times:
If for any reason our broadcasting times becoming unavailable, we will have to try and reschedule a later or earlier time to do the show. However if the time is rescheduled to be before the watershed hours we will have to make sure any offensive language is censored to follow the regulations of OfCom.
