Legality of online movies
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 8:00 am
Can anyone help me with defining the legality of online movies?
Does publishing in the UK and receiving payment in the UK constitute a breach of UK law? There seem to be a growing number of UK based sites publishing (broadcasting?) movie clips from within the UK - has anyone heard of any prosecutions for this?
Even if a site was hosted overseas, in a territory where this is legal, would maintaining the site from the UK constitute a breach of UK law?
TIA for any useful info or opinions.
Can any of the pros on here can point me in the direction of a UK law firm with some experience in this area?
