Copyright is a property right, giving the owner a number of exclusive rights over an original work. The work does not need to be registered: the act of making something or commissioning it to be made gives the author copyright.
In New Zealand the law of copyright is set out in the Copyright Act 1994. The Act protects original work – written, artistic, recorded, filmed, printed, or in the form of an electronic (computer) file. It also applies to students’ work. For more information, see the Copyright Council website.
Privacy
The Privacy Act 1993 defines personal information as any information about an identifiable individual, and sets out rules for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
You are responsible for obtaining identifiable individuals’ written consent to appear or be identified, for example in photographs or video images.
