Legal & Ethical issues

In terms of photo shoot, this might be in terms of misrepresentation, copyright, royalties
LEGAL
In terms of legal issues, these tends to be about who owns the rights to something, or whether you are slandering (saying something about someone that is not true), or sometimes it can be a legal issue of making sure your content is not breaking the law (as in there is no suffering to animals depicted)
ETHICAL
Ethics are more of a minefield and there are certain ethical considerations that we have in the west that are important to understand. Ethics is about what society views as right.
Such as – is there a balance between male/female genders
If there are,  are these stereotypical roles (eg powerful  and strong male, weak female often dressed provocatively)
Is there swearing, are there weapons?

Southpark is controversial because a lot of people disapprove of its ethics. However, the producers might argue that it is for a small cult audience who are adult enough to know what is right and what is wrong.

What are the legal and ethical issues of your production and can you justify them?
