Abstract
This chapter focuses on copyright in the broadcasts and discusses the copyright problems that are encountered by producers in radio and television stations of live programmers. Pre-recorded programmers are cinematograph films so far as television broadcasts are concerned. The copyright act states that the British broadcasting corporation or the independent broadcasting authority, as the case might be, are entitled to any copyright subsisting in television broadcasts or sound broadcasts made by them. Copyright in the basic literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, and in the sound recordings and cinematograph films that are transmitted, would belong to the copyright owner, subject to any licenses he has given permitting the broadcast. The value of copyright to a copyright owner is the right to prevent other persons from doing any of the acts specified in the copyright act as restricted acts in relation to a particular work or subject matter.
