Legal issues

On their web pages the University Legal Services office produce forms and guidance notes (section 6.4 of document) that are intended for use by University staff:

• who are involved in organising events or activities during which photography or filming or recorded interviews may take place; and
• where the purpose or use of the images of individuals and/or sound recordings of their spoken word or voice, by publication or other dissemination by the University including on University websites, is to promote the teaching and research activities at the University, e.g. upload of podcasts of a lecture series via the University Computing Service Streaming Media Service on a Faculty or Departmental website.

These forms are only for use by University Institutions. Colleges or University societies or clubs must seek permissions before publishing materials on the Streaming Media Service and may copy the forms and amend the wording.

When you upload materials to the Streaming Media Service you will have to go through a 'Terms and Conditions' page and verify that you have completed the required forms.
