Indirect racial discrimination may fall into one of two categories depending on the racial grounds of discrimination. The first is on grounds of colour or nationality, under the original definition in the Race Relations Act. The second category is direct racial discrimination this occurs when you are able to show that you have been treated less favourably on racial grounds than others in similar circumstances. Mr Souster, a presenter for BBC Scotland’s Rugby Special, complained that he had lost his job because he was English and the BBC sought after someone of a Scottish race.
Copyright is part of intellectual property law. Originators of material such as books, films, songs, photographs etc. The creator has an automatic ownership. You cannot copyright an idea; you can only copyright something if it’s been published, the cost of your own work depends on you the copyright holder as you created the work so you decide the value of your work. The owner must give permission to anyone before they copy something. The computer misuse act is if you gain access to a computer without authorisation and steal the data by hacking files, or if you copy a program e.g. Photoshop and put it on program like Nero or Limewire, you can be prosecuted with a heavy fine or 5 years of imprisonment. As a designer you are not permitted to download programs of the internet, there are copyright laws on these programs. Copyrights last for 70 years after the creators death and 50 years for a performer.

The press have a right to assemble and distribute information, if somebody decides to sue the news for selling a story of theirs without their authorization, the courts are most likely to take the side of the press
