Simple question, but for the life of me I can't work out the answer - and I've searched the archives here and everywhere else I can think of.....
The OPA makes it an offence to "publish" certain types of stuff or "to have it for gain.." - thinking here of watersports video, specifically - but is it still liable to count as an offence if the publishing, and the gain, takes the form only of selling it to a foreign company? And would there be a distinction in law, possibly, between selling the rights outright on the one hand, and on the other merely using a foreign distributor to market stuff (potentially back into the UK) from which you continued to profit directly..
And I know people will say "consult a solicitor if you want to know the law..", but are there any firms who take a particular, and informed, interest in this area? And if so can anyone suggest any (by email, if you prefer..)?
Thanks for any thoughts..
