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.
